I am ash from your fire

Ponte 

Am             G        
   You know I left a part of me  
             Am7 
Back in New York 
              D                    
You knew the hero died  
                     Am 
So what's the movie for? 
              G                         C 
You knew it still hurts underneath my scars 
                            D 
From when they pulled me apart 
Am                G 
   You knew the password so  
                   Am7 
I let you in the door 
              D          
You knew you won so what's  
                       Am 
The point of keeping score? 
               G                         C 
 You knew it still hurts underneath my scars 
                           D 
From when they pulled me apart 
                               Am 
 But what you did was just as dark 

( G  C  D ) 

                           Am 
Darling, this was just as hard 
G                C            D 
As when they pulled me apart

My only one 
    D              G 
My kingdom come undone  
     G      C 
My broken drum 
          D               G 
You have beaten my heart 
Em               Am 
   Don't want no other shade of  
  D       G 
Blue but you 
Em           Am
