Lyrics

[Intro]
| C | Em7/B | Dm7 | G7 |

[Verse 1]
C                 Em7/B
 She asks for a light  
      Dm7                    G7
As our   secrets spill on the  window sill
C                  Em7/B
 We're buying more time 
        Dm7                  G7
While we   kill ourselves as we both inhale

[Pre-Chorus]
F             G          Em F
Making believe there's a future
         G           Em       F
Is it naive to think we could work?
                    G       Em   F
The second it's out, then I lose her
                  G       Em         F
We're already here so one more won't hurt
It won't hurt

[Chorus]
    C                   Em7/B
But all that we are is all   that we'll ever be
       Am           G          F
'Cause he's the one waitin' at home
    C                    Em7/B
She holds my guitar as I pluck out a melody
        Am         G        D/F#
There's only so far we can go   
          F           G        Am
Next to you, but I'll never be close
              F                   G
So, take your time while you're mine
          C
And smoke slow

[Verse 2]
            Em7/B
Breakin' away    
       Dm7                   G7
For the   hell of it, started  innocent
C                Em7/B           Dm7
 I'm tellin' you things that I've   never said
      G7
Hope I  don't regret this

[Pre-Chorus]
F             G           Em  F
Making believe that we're clueless
                G        Em        F
One little spark that we won't put out
            G      Em F
Makin' a million excuses
                             G
'Cause isn't it fun just for now?

[Chorus]
    C                   Em7/B
But all that we are is all   that we'll ever be
       Am           G          F
'Cause he's the one waitin' at home
    C                    Em7/B
She holds my guitar as I pluck out a melody
        Am         G        D/F#
There's only so far we can go   
          F           G        Am
Next to you, but I'll never be close
              F                   G
So, take your time while you're mine
          C
And smoke slow

[Bridge]
Am              G                            F
  Addicted to illusions of a love that never was
                           G
And never will be, anyway, ooh
Am                   G
  The nicotine don't taste the same
                    F                            G
If I'm not with you savorin' every breath we take
Am        G     F         G
Play with fire, take me higher

[Chorus]
C                   Em7/B
All that we are is all   that we'll ever be
       Am           G          F
'Cause he's the one waitin' at home
    C                    Em7/B
She holds my guitar as I pluck out a melody
        Am         G       D/F#
There's only so far we can go  
          F             G      Am
Next to you, but I'll never be close
                F                   G
So, take your time while you're mine
          C
And smoke slow
