[Intro]  A

A
Raised myself for a million lies
I could sell religion to Jesus Christ
A broken home, I left behind
E                        A
Gave up everything for a couple of lines

A
I know my time is growing near
My heart is empty and there's no tears
I wasted so many years
E                          A
Lost in the bottle 'till I disappeared

G                        D
Heading down the same routine
                              A
My throne is high just like a king
G                 A
But black tar and nicotine
G                        A
Shot me in the heart and killed my dreams

A
The world out there is bitter cold
Filled my pockets with blood and stone
The streets I grew up on, I called home
E                     A
Friends I had left me long ago

G                    D
Running far and in-between
                     A
I had it all at seventeen
G                 A
But black tar and nicotine
G                        A
Shot me in the heart and killed my dreams

D                              A
One day heaven came to take my pain
E                                                  A
With a fist full of pills and a needle stuck in my vein
D                                A
Tears roll down like sweat on my face
E
I didn't know what to do 'cause I was afraid

A
I'm sitting alone in this motel room
Paper thin walls and a rack for my shoes
Don't know where I'm going next
E              A
Now I lay here in this bed

G                    A
'Cause black tar and nicotine
G                        A
Shot me in the heart and killed my dreams
G                    A
'Cause black tar and nicotine
G                        A
Shot me in the heart and killed my dreams
G                    A
'Cause black tar and nicotine
G                        A
Shot me in the heart and killed my dreams
G                    A
'Cause black tar and nicotine
G                        A
Shot me in the heart and killed my dreams
