C#m                  B
Empty bottles on a dusty wooden floor
  F#m                        C#m
A remedy I've tried too many times
C#m                   B
Echos in my mind of shouts and slamming doors
F#m                       C#m
I've done better with goodbye

Now the sun is heading back into its grave
It’s a cold october night
Taste the autumn air and hope to find a way
To keep the dark out of my mind

Chorus:
     A
Kerosene
    C#m
Kerosene
She lit me up
     B
She left me numb
   A            E
I call her kerosene

Light a candle as I lay me down to sleep
Watch the room begins to glow
Listen quietly to wind and rustling leaves
In the silence I’m at home

In my dreams I see her standing by the fire
Granite eyes reflect the flames
Humming softly 'til the embers start to tire
A faded memory that I saved

Chorus - x2
