Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

I've got a postcard

 with no address

A picture of Houston

 in a creased up mess

Just to remind me

 That it all went wrong

Just to beat me up – just to turn me on

Chorus

Stray paper

Stray paper

Stray paper

Burning my hands

Verse 2

Cigarettes in the glove box

 with the classified ads

ashes and silver

 worn into your hands

“I gotta see you”

 on a burnt napkin

gas station quarters, I gotta see you again

Chorus

Stray paper

Stray paper

Stray paper

Burning in my hands

Verse 3

Somewhere there's a letter

 that I never sent

it used to read pretty

 now it's empty as

that night in the headlights

 with the blankets passed, Was it something to

you, babe? Was it always just

Chorus

Stray paper

Stray paper

Stray paper

Burning in my hands

Stray paper

Stray paper

Stray paper

Burning in my hands

Burning in my hands

Burning in my hands
