G#m

G#m E F# B

You once lit me up like a cigarette

G#m E F# B

And you burned me down and now there's nothing left

G#m E F# B

You were the one who put a spark to this

G#m E F# B

You were the gasoline, you were the catalyst

G#m E

It was last call

F# B G#m E F#

It wasn't you it was the alcohol

B G#m E F#

We talked all night but you were so far gone

B G#m E F#

Another night on Sunset Boulevard

G#m E

This is a walk away

F# B G#m E

From all the dirty little games you played

F# B G#m E F#

You heard your sorrys, but I saw no change

B G#m E F#

I gave you love you gave me pain

B E F# G#m

Oh you lit me up like a cigarette

B E F# G#m

And you burned me down and now there's nothing left

B E F# G#m

You were the one who put a spark to this

G#m E F# B

You were the gasoline you were the catalyst

G#m E F# B

And don't you know

It won't be easy letting this love go

I never wanted your tears to flow

Sometimes you need more than a hand to hold

G#m E F# B

I need a new road

I think I'll spend some time out on my own

Give this soul a little time to roam

Let it find out what it's looking for

G#m E B

I didn't know

G#m E F#

You'd come and go

B E F# G#m

Once you lit me up like a cigarette

B E F# G#m

And you burned me down and now there's nothing left

B E F# G#m

You were the one who put a spark to this

You were the gasoline you were the catalyst

B E F# G#m

You lit me up like a cigarette

B E F# G#m

And you burned me down and now there's nothing left

You were the one who put a spark to this

You were the gasoline you were the catalyst

Girl light me up like a cigarette
