Standard (EADGBE)

I've been the one who has been frightened

 I'm almost borne away

 By the very thoughts that I feared yesterday

 And it must be dust or smoke that's in my eyes

 How can I cry about something or someone that I won't see

 All my friends all say she had her chance

Let's go shoot some pool

 You know a fool is just a fool

 And I've tried everything that whiskey cures

 But the pain endures

 Now I'm feeling that pain

 I put my pride in my pocket

 That's how I'll spend my loneliest days

 And it must be dust or smoke that's in my eyes

Don't know what to do

 Hold the lamp above the rafter

 These smoke filled rooms will not replace her

I've been the one who has been frightened

 And almost borne away

 By the very thoughts that I feared yesterday

 But it must be dust or smoke that's in my eyes
