Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Cigarette catches in my ashtray

 Like a flower blooming in the spring

 And I know when the sun comes up tomorrow

 There will be hell to pay for living this way

Looked at me through blood shot eyes

 And I smiled and I wondered why

 We have thrown ourselves into our machines

 And is it worth it to not sleep till morning

 I was wishing that we were in your sheets and kissing

 But my teeth were to numb last night

We could watch the sun come up

 And I could talk your tired ears off

 And if by some miracle when we wake up tomorrow

 I will have some things to say

 Apologies for acting this way

Last night I lit and candle

 And I bit my tongue because when you are lonely

 And the boat comes creeping in

 That is worse than death sometimes

Tonight behind my tired eyes

 Are those standard lines that I'm sure

 They worked on me and you

 When there's nothing else to do

 We made some bad mistakes it’s inevitable yeah

Cigarette in my teeth

 Was snubbed by her hate but maybe tonight

 I look like Rick Blaine

 To your blue eyes

The rain smashes through concrete

Your name is beautiful to me

 So if you give me one meaning

You can live forever in a song

 You'll go on and on and on
