Tift Merritt - Stray Paper Chords

CAPO: 5th Fret



         Dm             C    G
I got a postcard with a-no address
             Dm           C       G
A picture of Houston in a beat up mess
          Dm              G        C
Just to remind me that it all went wrong
        F                   G            C
Just to beat me up, just to turn me on

      Am      C

Cigarettes in the glove box with the classified ads
          Dm        C           G
Ashes and silver worn into your hands
         Dm             G        C
"I gotta see you", on a burnt napkin
            F                 G                 C
Gas station quarters, I got to see you again

N.C                 Dm            C     G
Somewhere there's a letter that I never sent
                Dm               C     G
It used to read pretty, now it's empty as
                  Dm                  G        C
That night in the headlights with the blankets pressed
                    F                 G             C
Was it something to you, baby? Was it always just

Burning my hands
