Chords: A, Bm, G#m, D, G, E, F#m  
Intro [A]
[Bm] Your mama knew it  [A] Now I know it too
[Bm] Across a kitchen table  [A] She barely looked at you
[Bm] The paperbacks were piled up  [A] She read them [G#m] all right [F#m] through
[D] Saying all you really need  [A] is cigarettes coffee and booze, cigarettes coffee and booze
[E] Your mama knew it  [F#m] Now I know it too [Bm] All you really need
[A] Cigarettes [G] coffee and [D] booze
[A] Cigarettes [G] coffee and [D] booze
[A] ooh-ooh-ooh
[Bm] And if I go to Houston  [A] I'll find your daddy's grave
[Bm] I'll thank him for the sunshine  [A] that dragged me from a cave
[Bm] I'll ask him to forgive me  [A] for being [G#m] such a [F#m] screw
[D] And I'll tell that I always  [A] be in love with you, be in love with you
[E] Your mama knew it  [F#m] Now I know it too [Bm] All you really need
[A] Cigarettes [G] coffee and [D] booze
[A] Cigarettes [G] coffee and [D] booze
[A] ooh-ooh-ooh
[Bm] I'm not frozen back in time  [A] Time falls forward in a line
[Bm] The spread of ashes, the sting of lime
[A] Floating mold, the stain of wine
[Bm] Next thing you know  [A] situation is [G#m] lose [F#m] lose
[D] When all you really need  [A] is cigarettes coffee and booze, cigarettes coffee and booze
[E] Your mama knew it  [F#m] Now I know it too [Bm] All you really need
[A] Cigarettes [G] coffee and [D] booze
[A] Cigarettes [G] coffee and [D] booze
[A] ooh-ooh-ooh
[Bm] You barely had a family  [A] It's lucky when you can
[Bm] Believe in something different
[A] and hold it in your hand
[Bm] It's smaller than a breadbox  [A] more fragile [G#m] than a [F#m] plan
[D] No different than a seabird  [A] rotting in the sand, rotting into the sand
[E] Your mama knew it  [F#m] Now I know it too [Bm] All you really need
[A] Cigarettes [G] coffee and [D] booze
[A] Cigarettes [G] coffee and [D] booze
[A] Cigarettes [G] coffee and [D] booze
[A] Cigarettes [G] coffee and [D] booze
[A] ooh-ooh-ooh
