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