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
