[Intro]
G Am B C G C
[Verse 1]
G
Heaven knows
Am B
You’ve always been La Vie en rose
C G
Oh the color when you puckered slow
C
Four in the morning comes a purple glow
G
And I kissed too fast
Am B
Guess I was worried that this wouldn’t last
C G
Oh the summer in your cheeks brushed past
Em C
How the seasons seem to slip through my grasp
G
When it comes to the moment
Dadd4
My enjoyment is hopeless
Em Dadd4
Every time I’m out smoking
C
My worry is near
G
But if I want this so badly
Dadd4
Am I just scared to be happy
Em Dadd4
I put my faith in the back seat
C
And drive with blind fear
[Chorus]
G
Holy Smokes
Am B
Queen of my junior high hopes
C G
Get in your bug and drive yourself back home
C
Leave me speechless on the side of the road
G
Cause I can put this back down
Am B
All the junior high love I found
C G
In a birthday card cut out
Em C
Of some memories I’m reading through now
[Verse 2]
G
I guess I’m addicted
Dadd4
To pipes and paranoid visions
Em Dadd4
To guilt over girls I’ve been kissing
C
And missing the point
G
Hell bent on suppressing
Dadd4
All these godsends and blessings
Em Dadd4
That come in some form of lesson
C
And some form of joy
G
You’re leaving Richmond
Am B
Never known a girl more driven
C G
Still you miss every minute in Britain
C
All your friends and the wild living
G
Here comes the end of the season
Am B
Bumming smokes off of Jesus
C G
Not every cigarette is a demon
Em C
If it feels right, then it’s reasoned
