(VERSE 1)

Em             B          D           A     
Smoked my last cigarette, sat in bed for a while,
C               G             A            B
Thought of your face and that brought me a smile,
Em      B           D          A
Wanted another one, fell back asleep instead,
C              G           A            B
Woke and found you sitting there on the bed

(CHORUS)

D          A          E          B
Cigarette, cigarette, burning up time.
D          A          E         B
Cigarette, cigarette, watch the smoke climb.
D          A          E        B
Cigarette, cigarette, wasting away...
D              A          E           B
Just like this cigarette, our time is running down,
D        A                B            C#
only one hour 'til you're leavin' this town.

(VERSE 2)

Walked to the corner store, bought us another pack,
Held my arm 'round you as we headed back.
I tried to change your mind, didn't want you to go,
I love you more, I think, than you will ever know.

(CHORUS)

(BRIDGE)

D   A   E   B
Ah, ah, ah, ah,
D   A   E       B
Ah, ah, a-a-ah, a-ah,
D   A   E   B
Ah, ah, ah, ah,

D              A          E           B
Just like this cigarette, our time is running down,
D        A                B            C#
only one hour 'til you're leavin' this town.

Em              B          D           A   
Smoked one last cigarette, sat in bed for a while,
C               G             A            B
Thought of your face and that brought me a smile.
