Cold Beer And Cigarettes

[D][D][D][D] [A][A]

[E]A white ghost, making his way up the west coast
Trying to focus his [D]high hopes on a vagina or [C#m]two
He's tak[D]ing his chanc[A]es
[E]Meanwhile, back in his living room
Bright smiles are watching his toddler run [D]speed trials
Over a grandmother's [C#m]rug
And [D]nature advanc[A]es

[C/G]   Up the [Am]inter[D]state
He's [B7]been [Em]awake
And [C/G]pretty [D]drunk for [Bm]three whole [C/G]days
No one [Am]wants to [D]stop
[B7]Until they [Em]get to [Bm]where they're [C/G]going
I'll [Em]get to[Bm] where I'm [C/G]going [B7sus4]pretty soon   [B7]

So he [E]takes another [Bm]drink
'Cause watching the scenery [A]bleed
[Am]Into each similar [E]scene
Isn't [C#m]as sweet as [B7]it had been in [C/G]his dreams

[Am] [D] [B7] [Em] [C/G] [D] [Bm] [C/G] [Am] [B7sus4] [B7]

[E]It's faster to buy cigarettes and some cold beer
If you don't rattle the [D]cashier
By asking her back to your [F#m]room
She's [B]calling security

[A]Our car's on fire in the parking lot
And nobody wants it to [E]rain
But God isn't listening
So all of the windshields [A]glisten
The water and oil mix
Causing the fire to [E]spread
To five or six innocent automo[B]biles
Waiting in their nearby [A]spots
What a cruel God we've [E]got

Right [C#m]on, right [Abm]on, right [A]on    [E]
Right [F#m]on, right [B]on   [B7]      [E]
Right [C#m]on, right [Abm]on, right [A]on   [E]
Right [F#m]on, right [B]on   [B7]      [E]

So he ta[E]kes another [Bm]drink
'Cause watching the formula [A]bleed
[Am]Into each similar [E]thing
Isn't [C#m]as sweet as [B7]it had been in his dreams   [E7]
