Verse 4
D
Saw my father in a dream

last night

He was smiling and saying
Dsus4
"You're gonna be all right"
D
And this morning I stared
G
back at myself
D
G
Feeling as empty as I've ever felt
But I keep on going and I
D
hope I've learned
A
More of what's right
G
than what's wrong
Bm
It's ashes and roses and time
that burns
Em
When you're chasing
A
what's already gone
G
D
Ashes and roses and hearts that break
A
G
I tried so hard to be strong
But maybe my worries were not
Bm
my first mistake
Em
A
D
I'm chasing what's already gone
