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