- Difficulty: Beginner
♫ Intro:
C majorC A minorAm FF x4
♫ Verse 1:
C majorC
He smokes another cigarette
He's got the posture of an honest man
A minorAm
And now he's floating
Through my city
E minorEm FF
Got some quarters In his jeans
C majorC
And he knows he's pretty
C majorC
He's got the confidence
For these type of things
A minorAm
Somehow I pulled him
From the corner
E minorEm FF
Of a bar across the street
♫ Pre-Chorus:
C majorC
And while I'm shades of flattered
At some good romance and manners
A minorAm
Oh I fear I'm doing better
E minorEm FF
With no hands to comfort me
C majorC
And I say it doesn't matter
I pretend love's chutes and ladders
A minorAm
I'll pretend love's chutes and ladders
E minorEm FF
'till the game stops playing me
♫ Verse 2:
C majorC
He smokes another cigarette
C majorC
This time I'm watching
From my lover's bed
DmDm
Where spent a couple evenings
E minorEm FF
Though I never get much sleep
C majorC
And I can't help thinking
Is this moving all too quick
DmDm
I know I swore I wouldn't stick around
E minorEm FF G+G
For more than just a week
♫ Pre-Chorus:
C majorC
And while I'm shades of flattered
At some bedside table banter
DmDm
Oh I fear I'm doing better
E minorEm FF
With no hands to comfort me
C majorC
And I say it doesn't matter
I pretend love's chutes and ladders
DmDm
I'll pretend love's chutes and ladders
E minorEm FF
'till the game stops playIng me
♫ Bridge:
DmDm E minorEm
And he, he doesn't even notice It
DmDm E minorEm
That I'm sInkIng In way too deep
DmDm E minorEm
And he, he doesn't even keep It In
DmDm E minorEm FF
All those promises we would never keep
♫ Verse 3:
C majorC
He smokes another cigarette
This time I'm sittIng right across from hIm
DmDm
At a table, at a park
E minorEm FF G+G
Where we decide to meet
C majorC
And now I'm choking
On the things I'll never say to him
DmDm
'cause I know he won't remember
E minorEm FF
All the things he said to me
♫ Pre-Chorus:
C majorC
And whIle I'm shades of flattered
At some good romance and manners
DmDm
Oh I fear I'm doing better
E minorEm FF
With no hands to comfort me
C majorC
And I say it doesn't matter
I pretend love's chutes and ladders
DmDm
I'll pretend love's chutes and ladders
E minorEm FF
'till the game stops playIng me

He smokes another cigarette
And I'm on fire

I'm on fire
I'm on fire
C majorC
He smokes another cigarette
And I'm on fire
C majorC
I'm on fire
C majorC
I'm on fire
