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