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 its 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
