Cold Beer And Cigarettes (acoustic) by David Bazan
Bb F
C
A white ghost, making his way up the west coast Trying to focus his
Bb Am Bb F
high hopes on a vagina or two He's taking his chances
C
Meanwhile, back in his living room Bright smiles are watching his toddler
Bb Am Bb F
run speed trials Over a grandmother's rug And nature advances
Ab F Bb G Cm Ab Bb G
Up the interstate He's been awake And pretty drunk for three whole
Ab F Bb G Cm Bb Ab
Days. No one wants to stop Until they get to where they're going
Cm Bb Ab G G7
I'll get to where I'm going pretty soon
C Gm F
So he takes another drink 'Cause watching the scenery bleed
Fm C Am G F C
Into each similar scene Isn't as sweet as it had been in his dreams
solo over verse with slightly different ending:

It's faster to buy cigarettes and some cold beer If you don't rattle the

cashier By asking her back to your room. She's calling security
F C
Our car's on fire in the parking lot And nobody wants it to rain
F
But God isn't listening So all of the windshields glisten
C
The water and oil mix Causing the fire to spread
G G7 F
To five or six innocent automobiles Sitting in their nearby spots
Fm C
What a cruel God we've got
Am Em F C Dm G G7 C
Right on, right on, right on Right on, right on
Am Em F C Dm G G7
Right on, right on, right on Right on, right on
