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

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

    A
Kerosene

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

C#m                  B
Light a candle as I lay me down to sleep
F#m                     C#m
Watch the room begin to glow
C#m                B
Listen quietly to wind and rustling leaves
F#m                 C#m
In the silence I'm at home

C#m                     B
In my dreams I see her standing by the fire
F#m                      C#m
Granite eyes reflect the flames
C#m                      B
Humming softly till the embers start to tire
F#m                   C#m
A faded memory that I saved

    A
Kerosene

Kerosene
