FF C majorC A#A# C majorC FF C majorC A#A# C majorC
Verse:
FF DmDm
Smoked lots of cigarettes, filled my lungs up with regret
A#A# C majorC
But I got a second chance, I put down those cancer sticks
FF DmDm
Never should have picked them up, but they say whats done is done
A#A# C majorC
And I'm done with slavery, feeling better everyday
Chorus:
A#A# C majorC DmDm
I said I'd quit a time or two before
A#A# C majorC FF
Then I'd always bum another from a friend
A#A# C majorC DmDm
Because moderation meant just one more
A#A# C majorC FF
So I hope I never smoke one again
C majorC A#A# C majorC FF C majorC A#A# C majorC
Verse:
FF
No more holding hands with Death
DmDm
Had to stop and catch my breathe
A#A#
No more coughing in the cold
C majorC
Stranded on Tobacco Road
FF
Used to smoke them in the car
DmDm
When my favorite song came on
A#A# C majorC
With a coffee or a beer, after nearly every meal
FF DmDm
Feeling like a hypocrite and making corporations rich
A#A# C majorC
In exchange they make me sick, either way you pay for it
FF DmDm
They sell them to you overpriced, medical bills start to rise
A#A# C majorC
Life's a drag but surely I can find a cheaper way to die
Chorus:
A#A# C majorC DmDm
And I remember fits of nicotine
A#A# C majorC FF
Wishing every cigarette would never end
A#A# C majorC DmDm
But it seems like lately I need room to breathe
A#A# C majorC FF
So I hope I never smoke one again
Instrumental:

Verse:
F* Dm*
But when it comes down to it, some folks just don't wanna quit
A#* C majorC
And that's their prerogative, I can't tell you how to live
FF DmDm
But I hope that you survive, hope I bought myself some time
A#A# C majorC
Hope we make it out alive, or at least 'till 95
Chorus:
A#A# C majorC DmDm
I'm through with throwing half a pack away
A#A# C majorC FF
Then the next day digging through the garbage can
A#A# C majorC DmDm
Because I'm an addict, what else can I say?
A#A# C majorC
But I hope I never smoke one
A#A# C majorC
I hope I never smoke one
A#A# C majorC FF C majorC FF
I hope I never smoke one again
