Back In This Cigarette

     Bb                           C 
It's two A.M. in my new home this motel room 
Bb 
An ash tray full of lucky strikes 
  C 
A half spent case of warm Bud Lite 
Dm                 Bb 
Counting regrest...fighting back tears 
  Am                      Bb 
Retracin' steps...gettin' nowhere 

               Dm                    Bb 
Callin' your name it's a waste of my breath 
           F            C/E                  Dm         C 
There's no reachin' you across this cold and empty bed 
Bb                 Dm 
Stirrin' up ash's, tryin' to find passion 
C             Bb 
Where there's no love left 
          Dm             C    Bb 
It's like tryin to put smoke     back in this cigarette 

Bb                                    C 
Come sunrise guess I'll check out and ditch this town 
      Bb 
Put a few more miles between us 
         C 
And keep drivin' till I finally mend this broken trust 
Dm                  Bb 
Hangin' my hopes on highway signs 
   Am              Bb 
If I lie here I'll lose my mind 

               Dm                    Bb 
Callin' your name it's a waste of my breath 
           F            C/E                  Dm         C 
There's no reachin' you across this cold and empty bed 
Bb                 Dm 
Stirrin' up ash's, tryin' to find passion 
C             Bb 
Where there's no love left 
          Dm             C    Bb              C 
It's like tryin to put smoke     back in this cigarette 

Bb 
I may never know your reasons why 
        Dm                            Eb 
But someday I'm gonna see the good in your goodbye 

               Dm                    Bb 
Callin' your name it's a waste of my breath 
           F            C/E                  Dm         C 
There's no reachin' you across this cold and empty bed 
Bb                 Dm 
Stirrin' up ash's, tryin' to find passion 
C             Bb 
Where there's no love left 
          Dm             C    Bb 
It's like tryin to put smoke     back in this cigarette
