Tom: E
E A E
Somehow I'm the one apologizing every other night
B A
Is it my sad mental state that creates the pit in my stomach
E
That puts the fault on mine?
E A E
Maybe it was fate that I forgot to give you that shitty cassette tape until last night
B A
When I caught a glimpse of your lips on hers and I lost my focus
E
I couldn't compose my mind
B A
When you tore out the stitches I labored over to suppress my emotions
E
I had only ever showed you mine
[Chorus]
A E
And your cigarette smoke, it sticks to my clothes
A E
Like the words I stole, and wrote off as my own
[Interlude]
B A B A E
[Verse]
E A E
Shortness of breath, carcinogens bled out from your chest
B A
In and out, breath through your mouth
E
Take in what you can and just throw the rest out
Your ball and chain is keeping me here
A E
When I just want to run away
B A E
Charm and wit has a tighter grip than my conscious will ever muster up anyway
B A E
Victim of my inability to stand up for myself and push the guilt away
[Chorus]
A E
And your cigarette smoke, it sticks to my clothes
A E
Like the words I stole, and wrote off as my own
A E
And your cigarette smoke, it sticks to my clothes
A E
Just like the words I stole, and wrote off as my own
