Cigarette Tab

by Smithereens



Here's a song from the Smithereens, ESPECIALLY FOR YOU album. This is
indeed my first time posting so if y'all got any comments, please tell me
before i get into a bad habit! Like I said, I'm really clueless so if
this winds up in pub/guitar/s/smithereens I would be most gracious!

                             Cigarette
(intro)
//|//|//|//|
(verse1)
                                         
smoked my last cigarette, sat in bed for a while,
                                        
thought of your face and that brought me a smile,
                            
wanted another one, fell back asleep instead,
                                     
woke and found you sitting there on the bed

(chorus)
                              
cigarette, cigarette, burning up time.
                              
cigarette, cigarette, watch the  smoke climb.
                              
cigarette, cigarette, wasting    away...
                                   
just like this cigarette, our time is running down,
                                    
only one hour 'til you're leavin' this town.

(bridge)
            
ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,
            
ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,
                                   
just like this cigarette, our time is running down,
                                
only one hour 'till you're leavin' this town.

(verse2)
walked to the corner store, bought us another pack,
held my arm 'round you as we headed back.
I tried to change your mind, didn't want you to go,
I love you more, I think, than you will ever know.

(repeat chorus)

(coda)
smoked one last cigarette, sat in bed for a while,
thought of your face and that brought me a smile...
