Smoke Clouds

James Arthur


Tom: C

  Em
Look no farther than the father's who go farther than they should 
       Am7
To the point where we're surrounded by the scars behind their hoods 
    Em                Am7
and who no no is gonna teach them wrong from right? 

who's gonna tell them it's alright? 
B                          Am7
pass the just (?) cigarette 
           B                      Am7
take these brain cells out my head 
        B               Am7
fill my lungs, drain my heart 

Chorus 
            Em                     Am7
'cause this smoke cloud's giving me shelter 
                Dm
and I feel much better 
           B
and demons wave the white flags for me 
        Em                    Am7
'til my bones keep pleading to walk out 
                 Dm
from all of this fall out 
               B
but there's no way that I could leave 
           C
so I don't leave 
                       B
turn the bitterness to sweet 
                     Am7   B
I need to find a new release 
                   Em
so I'm trading blues for green 
Am7      Dm
hey no no no no 
B
oh no no no no no 

    Em
Now I'm a simple man I don't even have a phone 
     Am7
If I did I wouldn't pick it up I want to be alone 
Em
I don't trust anyone in this one-track town 
Am7
If I walk (?) then my eyes fall down 

Em Am7                          Em
Who is gonna teach them wrong from right? 
            Am7
Who's gonna tell them it's alright? 
     B                          Am7
just pass the just (?) cigarette 
           B                      Am7
take these brain cells out my head 
        B               Am7
fill my lungs, drain my heart 

Chorus 
            Em                     Am7
'cause this smoke cloud's giving me shelter 
                Dm

Am7
Yeah 
                   Dm
Oh I'm trading blues for green 
           B
and demons wave the white flags for me 
        Em                    Am7
'til my bones keep pleading to walk out 
                 B
