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