Cold Beer And Cigarettes by David Bazan
Cold Beer And Cigarettes
E
A white ghost, making his way up the west coast
D C#m
Trying to focus his high hopes on a vagina or two
D A
He's taking his chances
E
Meanwhile, back in his living room
D
Bright smiles are watching his toddler run speed trials
C#m
Over a grandmother's rug
D A
And nature advances
C/G Am D
Up the interstate
B7 Em
He's been awake
C/G D Bm C/G
And pretty drunk for three whole days
Am D
No one wants to stop
B7 Em Bm C/G
Until they get to where they're going
Em Bm C/G B7sus4 B7
I'll get to where I'm going pretty soon
E Bm
So he takes another drink
A
'Cause watching the scenery bleed
Am E
Into each similar scene
C#m B7 C/G
Isn't as sweet as it had been in his dreams
Am D B7 Em C/G D Bm C/G Am B7sus4 B7
E
It's faster to buy cigarettes and some cold beer
D
If you don't rattle the cashier
F#m
By asking her back to your room
B
She's calling security
A
Our car's on fire in the parking lot
E
And nobody wants it to rain
But God isn't listening
A
So all of the windshields glisten
The water and oil mix
E
Causing the fire to spread
B
To five or six innocent automobiles
A
Waiting in their nearby spots
E
What a cruel God we've got
C#m Abm A E
Right on, right on, right on
F#m B B7 E
Right on, right on
C#m Abm A E
Right on, right on, right on
F#m B B7 E
Right on, right on
E Bm
So he takes another drink
A
'Cause watching the formula bleed
Am E
Into each similar thing
C#m B7 E7
Isn't as sweet as it had been in his dreams
