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]
