VERSE I
Em D A
I got a postcard with an old address
Em D A
A picture of Houston, in a beat-up mess
Em A D
Just to remind me that it all went wrong
G A
Just to beat me up, just to turn me on
CHORUS
D Bm D Bm D Bm G A
Stray paper, stray paper, stray paper, burnin' in my hands
VERSE II
Em D A
Cigarettes in the glove box, with the classified ads
Em D A
Ashes and silver, worn into your hands
Em A D
"I gotta see you", on a bar napkin
G A
Gas station quarters, I got to see you again
CHORUS
VERSE III
Em D A
Somewhere there's a letter, that I never sent
Em D A
It used to read pretty, now it's empty as
Em A D
That night in the headlights, with the blankets pressed
G A
Was it somethin' to you, baby? Was it always just . . .
CHORUS (then repeat)
G A G A
Burnin' in my hands, burnin' in my hands
Em D A (Repeat 5 times) Em
