             D  A-            F#m  Bm  
I've been the one who has been frightened
I'm almost Gborne away
By the very Dthoughts that I feared Gyesterday
And it Amust be dust or Gsmoke that's in my Deyes
How can I cry aAbout something or Gsomeone that I won't Dsee
All my Afriends all say she Ghad her Dchance
ALet's go Gshoot some Dpool
You know a Gfool is Ajust a Dfool
And I've Dtried everyDmaj7thing that D7whiskey cuGres
               A-A7  
But the pain endures
                    D  A-F#m  
Now I'm feeling that pain
I put my Bmpride in my Gpocket
That's how I'll Dspend my loneliest Gdays
And it Amust be dust or Gsmoke that's in my Deyes
ADon't Gknow what to Ddo
Hold the Alamp aGbove the Drafter
These smoke filled Grooms will Anot reGplace her
             D  A-            F#m  Bm  
I've been the one who has been frightened
And almost Gborne away
By the very Dthoughts that I feared Gyesterday
But it Amust be dust or Gsmoke that's in my Deyes
