D
[Verse]
D
I wish I still smoked cigarettes
D
Light one up and travel tim
D
When a stiff drink and a whispered yes
G
Was enough to light a fire, to feel alive
D
Wish I could go back to those nights sometimes
[Verse]
D
I wish I still drove a muscle car
D
Horses rumbling under the hood
D
Flying past the welcome sign under the stars
G
Wishing I could leave for good, I swore I would
Bm A
Every now and then I go back to that neighborhood
[Chorus]
G
Wish I still did a lot of things I don’t do anymore
D
When I didn’t know what wasn’t good for me
D
But I knew everything else for sure
Bm
I guess what I really miss is the freedom and
A
The way it felt, the innocence
G
That’s what I really meant
Em
When I said
[Verse]
D
I wish I still smoked cigarettes
D
I felt more grown up then
D
We were talking about where we gonna go
D
Instead of talking bout where we’d been
G
We’d ride around the lake and make those plans
Bm
Still had the world in the palm of our hands
A
We never had a chance, now and then
[Chorus]
G
Wish I still did a lot of things I don’t do anymore
D
When I didn’t know what wasn’t good for me
D
But I knew everything else for sure
Bm
I guess what I really miss is the freedom and
A
The way it felt, the innocence
G
That’s what I really meant
Em
When I said
[Solo]
D G D Bm A G D
[Verse]
D
Wish I still smoked cigarettes
D
Something to calm my nerves
D
Wherever you are tonight
D
You were better than I deserved
G
Wish I still smoked cigarettes
Em A
So I had something to let go up in smoke
