♫ Intro:

C   Am   F x4


♫ Verse 1:
C
He smokes another cigarette

He's got the posture of an honest man
               Am
And now he's floating

Through my city
          Em               F
Got some quarters In his jeans
    C
And he knows he's pretty
               C
He's got the confidence

For these type of things
       Am
Somehow I pulled him

From the corner
     Em                F
Of a bar across the street

♫ Pre-Chorus:
C
And while I'm shades of flattered

At some good romance and manners
      Am
Oh I fear I'm doing better
         Em               F
With no hands to comfort me


     C
And I say it doesn't matter

I pretend love's chutes and ladders
      Am
I'll pretend love's chutes and ladders
           Em                 F
'till the game stops playing me

♫ Verse 2:
     C
He smokes another cigarette
               C
This time I'm watching

From my lover's bed
       Dm
Where spent a couple evenings
      Em                  F
Though I never get much sleep
    C
And I can't help thinking

Is this moving all too quick
          Dm
I know I swore I wouldn't stick around
     Em                F   G
For more than just a week

♫ Pre-Chorus:
      C
And while I'm shades of flattered

At some bedside table banter
      Dm
Oh I fear I'm doing better
         Em               F
With no hands to comfort me


    C
And I say it doesn't matter

I pretend love's chutes and ladders
      Dm
I'll pretend love's chutes and ladders
           Em                F
'till the game stops playIng me

♫ Bridge:
    Dm                   Em
And he, he doesn't even notice It
          Dm                 Em
That I'm sInkIng In way too deep
Dm                         Em
And he, he doesn't even keep It In
            Dm                     Em   F
All those promises we would never keep

♫ Verse 3:
C
He smokes another cigarette

This time I'm sittIng right across from hIm
      Dm
At a table, at a park
Em                     F   G
Where we decide to meet
C
And now I'm choking

On the things I'll never say to him
          Dm
'cause I know he won't remember
          Em               F
All the things he said to me

♫ Pre-Chorus:
C
And whIle I'm shades of flattered

At some good romance and manners
   Dm
Oh I fear I'm doing better
         Em               F
With no hands to comfort me


    C
And I say it doesn't matter

I pretend love's chutes and ladders
      Dm
I'll pretend love's chutes and ladders
           Em                 F
'till the game stops playIng me

♫ Outro:
     C
He smokes another cigarette

And I'm on fire
        C
I'm on fire

I'm on fire
C
  He smokes another cigarette

And I'm on fire
        C
I'm on fire
         C
I'm on fire
