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