Matt Pless – The Cigarette Song chords

[Intro]
F C A# C F C A# C


[Verse]
F                          DmSmoked lots of cigarettes, filled my lungs up with regret
A#                         CBut I got a second chance, I put down those cancer sticks
F                                 DmNever should have picked them up, but they say whats done is done
A#                         CAnd I'm done with slavery, feeling better everyday


[Chorus]
 A#               C             DmI said I'd quit a time or two before
         A#           C            FThen I'd always bum another from a friend
       A#                C        DmBecause moderation meant just one more
     A#           C         FSo I hope I never smoke one again

C A# C F C A# C


[Verse]
FNo more holding hands with Death
DmHad to stop and catch my breathe
A#No more coughing in the cold
CStranded on Tobacco Road
FUsed to smoke them in the car
DmWhen my favorite song came on
A#                       CWith a coffee or a beer, after nearly every meal
F                            DmFeeling like a hypocrite and making corporations rich
A#                             CIn exchange they make me sick, either way you pay for it
F                                 DmThey sell them to you overpriced, medical bills start to rise
A#                             CLife's a drag but surely I can find a cheaper way to die


[Chorus]
A#             C       DmAnd I remember fits of nicotine
        A#         C                FWishing every cigarette would never end
       A#                C              DmBut it seems like lately I need room to breathe
     A#           C          FSo I hope I never smoke one again


[Instrumental]
C A# C F C A# C A# C Dm A# C F C


[Verse]
F*                            Dm*But when it comes down to it, some folks just don't wanna quit
A#*                           CAnd that's their prerogative, I can't tell you how to live
F                            DmBut I hope that you survive, hope I bought myself some time
A#                         CHope we make it out alive, or at least 'till 95


[Chorus]
A#                        C            DmI'm through with throwing half a pack away
         A#               C                   FThen the next day digging through the garbage can
       A#              C               DmBecause I'm an addict, what else can I say?
      A#           CBut I hope I never smoke one
  A#           CI hope I never smoke one
  A#           C          F   C FI hope I never smoke one again
