C                G            Am
This patch is pumping poison in my pores
        F               G
I can't take that much more
       F           G
What a poor way to live

            C             G                 Am
And I don't wanna lose my voice when I'm on tour
            F              G
I'd like to live a little more
           F              G
and have a little more to give

[Chorus]
    F                        G
And smoking is like hiring a hit man
    C        C/B     Am
for five dollars a day
       F                        G                     C   C/B    Am
and as cool as that is, I don't wanna keep dying this way

[Verse 2]
     C             G
I'm shaking like a junkie
        Am               F
and I'm shivering like a crackhead
           G                F             G
I've gotta get this fucking monkey off my back
      C            G
And I just need to remember
             Am                 F
that I can't afford to be a big spender
            G      F        G
and this is tobacco and not crack

[Chorus]
    F                        G
And smoking is like hiring a hit man
    C        C/B     Am
for five dollars a day
       F                        G                     C   C/B    Am
and as cool as that is, I don't wanna keep dying this way

       F                        G                     C
and as cool as that is, I don't wanna keep dying this way
