Verse
D
Raised myself for a million lies
D
I could sell religion to Jesus Christ
D
A broken home, I left behind
A D
Gave up everything for a couple of lines
D
I know my time is growing near
D
My heart is empty and there's no tears
D
I wasted so many years
A D
Lost in the bottle 'till I disappeared
[Chorus]
C G
Heading down the same routine
D
My throne is high just like a king
C D
But black tar and nicotine
C D
Shot me in the heart and killed my dreams
[Verse 2]
D
The world out there is bitter cold
D
Filled my pockets with blood and stone
D
The streets I grew up on, I called home
A D
Friends I had left me long ago
[Chorus]
C G
Running far and in-between
D
I had it all at seventeen
C D
But black tar and nicotine
C D
Shot me in the heart and killed my dreams
[Solo]
D D D D
[Bridge]
G D
One day heaven came to take my pain
A
With a fist full of pills
D
And a needle stuck in my vein
G D
Tears rolled down like sweat on my face
A
I didn’t know what to do
A
‘Cause I was afraid
[Verse 3]
D
I’m sitting alone in this motel room
D
Paper-thin walls and a rack for my shoes
D
Don’t know where I’m going next
A D
Now I lay here in this bed
[Chorus]
C D
‘Cause black tar and nicotine
C D
Shot me in the heart and killed my dreams
C D
Black tar and nicotine
C D
Shot me in the heart and killed my dreams
C D
Black tar and nicotine
C D
Shot me in the heart and killed my dreams
C D
Black tar and nicotine
C D
Shot me in the heart and killed my dreams
[Outro]
