[Intro]
| G Cadd9 | G |
| G Cadd9 | G |
 
[Verse 1]
G Cadd9 G
In the time it took to smoke your cigarette
G Cadd9 D Dsus2
You left me with a lifetime to forget
Em7 Cadd9
You came home in the morning and said you'd found someone
G D Cadd9
And just like that, the world came undone
Cadd9 D G
In the time it took to smoke your cigarette
 
[Verse 2]
G Cadd9 G
In the time it takes for me to make the bed
G Cadd9 D Dsus2
I realise your side is mine again
Em7 Cadd9
Think I'll go to town, get some pretty new sheets
G D Cadd9
Put 'em on and cover up your memory
Cadd9 D G
In the time it takes for me to make the bed
 
[Chorus]
Cadd9 D G
But living a lifetime without you
Cadd9 D Em7
Is something I never thought I'd do
Cadd9 G
'Til death do us part
B7 Em7 Am
These days don't get you far
Am D
Leaves you feeling like a fool
 
[Verse 3]
G Cadd9 G
In the time it takes to put my lipstick on
G Cadd9 D Dsus2
Slip off this diamond ring I'm gonna pawn
Em7 Cadd9
And settle for less than what it cost
G D Cadd9
Like the promise you made with your fingers crossed
Cadd9 D G
In the time it takes to put my lipstick on
 
[Chorus]
Cadd9 D G
But living a lifetime without you
Cadd9 D Em7
Is something I never thought I'd do
Cadd9 G
'Til death do us part
B7 Em7 Am
These days don't get you far
Am D
Leaves you feeling like a fool
 
[Post-Chorus]
| Cadd9 D |
 
[Verse 4]
G Cadd9 G
In the time it takes to smoke this cigarette
G Cadd9 D Dsus2
I'll burn you to the ground and I'll forget
Em7 Cadd9
Yeah, I've started smoking one a day
G D Cadd9
To breathe you out of me 'til there's no pain
Em7 D Cadd9
And figure out how to throw a love away
Cadd9 D Em7
In the time it takes to smoke this cigarette
Cadd9 Dsus4 G
In the time it takes to smoke this cigarette
