Chorus:
Em
Ashley!
         A         Em
Are you running around?
          G             D     G
Are you crying out in bloody murder?
Ashley!
Are you bumming around?
You're crying on my cold shoulder

Em           G               D                  A
You used to dangle my heart with your puppet strings
Em           G                 D               B
You dangled your desires right in front of my face
Em          G               D                A
You led me to the well but wouldn't let me drink
Em              G             D           Em
Swallowing my pride I never even got the taste

     C           G             D       Em
But time comes around and I'm not so naive
   C            G                   D         Em
I finally lost touch 'cause you're so out of reach
     C               G           D            Em
You say that you're fine but I know that you ain't
        C            G               B
You're looking like hell and you're no fucking saint

Chorus - x2

    G             Em
You are where you are
   G          Em
A wish on a shooting star
    C              G            A
You are a filthy thought in my memory

I taste the cigarettes and liquor on your breath
We used to call it speed, but now it's crystal meth
Back when I loved you, but you're scaring me to death
This careless memory, and now I could care less

But time comes around and I'm not so naive
I finally lost touch 'cause you're so out of reach
You say that you're fine but I know that you ain't
You're looking like hell and you're no fucking saint

Chorus - x2

Em
Ashley! Ashley! Ashley! Ashley!
