[Verse 1]
GI've been the D/F#one who has been Emfrightened and almost Cborne away
By the very Gthoughts that I feared Cyesterday
And it Dmust be dust or Csmoke that's in my Geyes
[Chorus]
How can I cry aDbout something Cfrom someone that I won't Gsee
Oh my Dfriends all say she Chad her chance
Let's go Dshoot some Gpool
You know a Cfool is Djust a Gfool
And I've Gtried everD/F#ything that Fwhiskey Ccures
But the pain enDdures
[Verse 2]
And now I'm Gfeeling that D/F#pain, I put my Empride in my Cpocket
That's how I Gspend my loneliest Cdays
And it Dmust be dust or Csmoke that's in my Geyes
[Instrumental]
G  D/F#  Em  C

[Bridge]
GDon't know what to do, hold the lamp above the rafters
These smoke-filled Frooms will Cnot reDplace her
[Verse 3]
GI've been the D/F#one who has been Emfrightened and almost Cborne away
By the very Gthoughts that I feared Cyesterday
And it Dmust be dust or Csmoke that's in my Geyes
