[Intro] 
Em  C  D

GAnother cigarette, wDhatever I can get
EmEverything I had I Cleft behind
GPictures of the past, DThings that never last
EmBut satisfaction is... oh it's sCtate of mind
[Pre-Chorus]
AmSomehow, sBmomeway, With Amnothin' left to Glose
               Am                  Bm            C  D...
The past has got me searching for someone like you
[Chorus]
GPut another candle in the wDind
It's just another thing that I can't Emfix
Play another game that I can't Cwin
But I'm not leD7aving it like Gthis
Maybe I should find a common gDround
Scratch another problem off my Emlist
Go ahead and kick me when I'm Cdown

I hGeard it all before, I bDeen through every door
But dEmon't you be so quick, ah, to coCunt me out
[Pre-Chorus]
AmYou tried to knock mBme down, You Amkicked me in my Ghead
                 Am           Bm                  C  D...
You got me on the ground, But I'm not finished yet
[Chorus]
GPut another candle in the wDind
It's just another thing that I can't Emfix
Play another game that I can't Cwin
But I'm not leD7aving it like Gthis
Maybe I should find a common gDround
Scratch another problem off my Emlist
Go ahead and kick me when I'm Cdown
