Intro:
F C A# C F C A# C


Verse:
F                          Dm
Smoked lots of cigarettes, filled my lungs up with regret
A#                         C
But I got a second chance, I put down those cancer sticks
F                                 Dm
Never should have picked them up, but they say whats done is done
A#                         C
And I'm done with slavery, feeling better everyday


Chorus:
 A#               C             Dm
I said I'd quit a time or two before
         A#           C            F
Then I'd always bum another from a friend
       A#                C        Dm
Because moderation meant just one more
     A#           C         F
So I hope I never smoke one again
C A# C F C A# C


Verse:
F
No more holding hands with Death
Dm
Had to stop and catch my breathe
A#
No more coughing in the cold
C
Stranded on Tobacco Road
F
Used to smoke them in the car
Dm
When my favorite song came on
A#                       C
With a coffee or a beer, after nearly every meal
F                            Dm
Feeling like a hypocrite and making corporations rich
A#                             C
In exchange they make me sick, either way you pay for it
F                                 Dm
They sell them to you overpriced, medical bills start to rise
A#                             C
Life's a drag but surely I can find a cheaper way to die


Chorus:
A#             C       Dm
And I remember fits of nicotine
        A#         C                F
Wishing every cigarette would never end
       A#                C              Dm
But it seems like lately I need room to breathe
     A#           C          F
So I hope I never smoke one again


Instrumental:
C A# C F C A# C A# C Dm A# C F C


Verse:
F*                            Dm*
But when it comes down to it, some folks just don't wanna quit
A#*                           C
And that's their prerogative, I can't tell you how to live
F                            Dm
But I hope that you survive, hope I bought myself some time
A#                         C
Hope we make it out alive, or at least 'till 95


Chorus:
A#                        C            Dm
I'm through with throwing half a pack away
         A#               C                   F
Then the next day digging through the garbage can
       A#              C               Dm
Because I'm an addict, what else can I say?
      A#           C
But I hope I never smoke one
  A#           C
I hope I never smoke one
  A#           C          F   C F
I hope I never smoke one again
