1st traste
[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
