[Verse 1]
G D/F# Em C
I've been the one who has been frightened and almost borne away
G C
By the very thoughts that I feared yesterday
D C G
And it must be dust or smoke that's in my eyes
[Chorus]
D C G
How can I cry about something from someone that I won't see
D C
Oh my friends all say she had her chance
D G
Let's go shoot some pool
C D G
You know a fool is just a fool
G D/F# F C
And I've tried everything that whiskey cures
D
But the pain endures
[Verse 2]
G D/F# Em C
And now I'm feeling that pain, I put my pride in my pocket
G C
That's how I spend my loneliest days
D C G
And it must be dust or smoke that's in my eyes
[Instrumental]
G D/F# Em C
G C
[Bridge]
G
Don't know what to do, hold the lamp above the rafters
F C D
These smoke-filled rooms will not replace her
[Verse 3]
G D/F# Em C
I've been the one who has been frightened and almost borne away
G C
By the very thoughts that I feared yesterday
D C G
And it must be dust or smoke that's in my eyes
