     F                   Bb
You used to feel like a smoker
                  G
Shivering in the cold
                     C
Waiting outside the bar
                  F
Til the opener's over

     F                    Bb
But now you feel like a drinker
                      G
Twenty days off the sauce
                     C
Down at the liquor store
                       Bb
Trying to call your sponsor

                            C           F
You used to feel like the forest fire burning
     D      F                    Bb
But now... now you feel like a child
            C               F           Bb      F
Throwing tantrums for your turn

     F                     Bb
You used to sound like a prophet
                         G
And everyone wanted to know
                         C
How you could tell the truth
                           F
Without losing that soft glow

                         Bb
But now you feel like a salesman
                 G
Closing another deal
                       C
Or some drunk ship captain
                         Bb
Raging after the white whale

                           C            F
You used to feel like the forest fire burning
     D      F                    Bb
But now... now you feel like a child
            C               Bb
Throwing tantrums and then some

                            C          F
You used to feel like the prodigal returning
     D      F                        Bb
But now... now you hate what you've made
         C                Bb            F
And you want to watch it burn
