Verse: 

Em 
This cigar burns a hole straight through my jeans,  
                    C 
and through your heart. 
                                G 
As i watch the ashes form another scar. 
                                        D/F#                  Em 
That i will never show but somehow everybody seems to know my demons. 
                                 C 
In all my efforts I've committed treason. 
                                           Am 
Chasing dreams that are changing like the seasons. 
                                      C        B/A      D 
They make me feel so small but I'm so proud to tell them all that 


 
     Em   C 
I'm a man now. 
G            D/F# 
I can drive a car. 
         Em   C 
And I'm a dropout. 
    G        D/F# 
I'm nobody so far. 
            Em    C    G                 D/F# 
But I don't mess with cigarettes or alcohol. 
               Em        C 
Cause I'm the best there is. 
            G             D/F#              Em 
And they tell me all the winners smoke cigars.

Verse:
 
      Em                                              C 
This guitar is pouring melodies that burn inside my heart. 
                                     G 
As the sound is broken up by passing cars. 
                               
They don't know that I'm above. 
             D/F#                        Em 
Or that I'm swimming in the middle of an ocean. 
                               C 
I'm riding on a wave or pure emotion. 
                               Am 
I'm drinking up this sea like it's a potion. 
C                 
Maybe i can mend new wings. 
          B/A          D 
I'll either float or start to sink. 

 
     Em   C 
I'm a man now. 
G            D/F# 
I can drive a car. 
         Em   C 
And I'm a dropout. 
    G        D/F# 
I'm nobody so far. 
            Em    C    G                 D/F# 
But I don't mess with cigarettes and alcohol. 
               Em        C 
Cause I'm the best there is. 
            G             D/F#               
And they tell me all the winners play guitar.

      Am                                                        C 
And I know I've never been the kind to let them get inside my mind. 
          G                 D/F# 
You just got to see that I need them on my side. 
     Am                                                C 
I promise not to breathe it in, or ever strum a chord again. 
           G                                      D/F# 
Cause it burns my lungs and hurts my tongue to know that

and through your heart. 
                                G
