Verse
F Dm
Smoked lots of cigarettes, filled my lungs up with regret
Bb C
But I got a second chance, I put down those cancer sticks
F Dm
Never should have picked them up, but they say whats done is done
Bb C
And I'm done with slavery, feeling better everyday
Bb C Dm
I said I'd quit a time or two before
Bb C F
Then I'd always bum another from a friend
Bb C Dm
Because moderation meant just one more
Bb C F
So I hope I never smoke one again
C Bb C F C Bb C
Verse
F
No more holding hands with Death
Dm
Had to stop and catch my breathe
Bb
No more coughing in the cold
C
Stranded on Tobacco Road
F
Used to smoke them in the car
Dm
When my favorite song came on
Bb C
With a coffee or a beer, after nearly every meal
F Dm
Feeling like a hypocrite and making corporations rich
Bb C
In exchange they make me sick, either way you pay for it
F Dm
They sell them to you overpriced, medical bills start to rise
Bb C
Life's a drag but surely I can find a cheaper way to die
Bb C Dm
And I remember fits of nicotine
Bb C F
Wishing every cigarette would never end
Bb C Dm
But it seems like lately I need room to breathe
Bb C F
So I hope I never smoke one again

And that's their prerogative, I can't tell you how to live
F Dm
But I hope that you survive, hope I bought myself some time
Bb C
Hope we make it out alive, or at least 'till 95
Bb C Dm
I'm through with throwing half a pack away
Bb C F
Then the next day digging through the garbage can
Bb C Dm
Because I'm an addict, what else can I say?
Bb C
But I hope I never smoke one
Bb C
I hope I never smoke one

I hope I never smoke one again
