[Intro]
F C A# C F C A# C
[Verse]
F Dm
Smoked lots of cigarettes, filled my lungs up with regret
A# C
But I got a second chance, I put down those cancer sticks
F Dm
Never should have picked them up, but they say whats done is done
A# C
And I'm done with slavery, feeling better everyday
[Chorus]
A# C Dm
I said I'd quit a time or two before
A# C F
Then I'd always bum another from a friend
A# C Dm
Because moderation meant just one more
A# C F
So I hope I never smoke one again
C A# C F C A# C
[Verse]
F
No more holding hands with Death
Dm
Had to stop and catch my breathe
A#
No more coughing in the cold
C
Stranded on Tobacco Road
F
Used to smoke them in the car
Dm
When my favorite song came on
A# C
With a coffee or a beer, after nearly every meal
F Dm
Feeling like a hypocrite and making corporations rich
A# C
In exchange they make me sick, either way you pay for it
F Dm
They sell them to you overpriced, medical bills start to rise
A# C
Life's a drag but surely I can find a cheaper way to die
[Chorus]
A# C Dm
And I remember fits of nicotine
A# C F
Wishing every cigarette would never end
A# C Dm
But it seems like lately I need room to breathe
A# C F
So I hope I never smoke one again
[Instrumental]
C A# C F C A# C A# C Dm A# C F C
[Verse]
F* Dm*
But when it comes down to it, some folks just don't wanna quit
A#* C
And that's their prerogative, I can't tell you how to live
F Dm
But I hope that you survive, hope I bought myself some time
A# C
Hope we make it out alive, or at least 'till 95
[Chorus]
A# C Dm
I'm through with throwing half a pack away
A# C F
Then the next day digging through the garbage can
A# C Dm
Because I'm an addict, what else can I say?
A# C
But I hope I never smoke one
A# C
I hope I never smoke one
A# C F C F
I hope I never smoke one again
