G            D/F#             Em                    C
I've been the one who has been frightened and almost borne away
           G                      C
By the very thoughts that I feared yesterday
      D               C                  G
And it must be dust or smoke that's in my eyes

[Chorus]
               D             C                         G
How can I cry about something from someone that I won't see
     D                   C
Oh my friends all say she had her chance
        D          G
Let's go shoot some pool
          C       D      G
You know a fool is just a fool
        G          D/F#       F       C
And I've tried everything that whiskey cures
               D
But the pain endures

[Verse 2]
           G            D/F#           Em          C
And now I'm feeling that pain, I put my pride in my pocket
            G                  C
That's how I spend my loneliest days
      D               C                  G
And it must be dust or smoke that's in my eyes

[Instrumental]
G  D/F#  Em  C
G  C

[Bridge]
G
Don't know what to do, hold the lamp above the rafters
                  F          C      D
These smoke-filled rooms will not replace her

[Verse 3]
G            D/F#             Em                    C
I've been the one who has been frightened and almost borne away
           G                      C
By the very thoughts that I feared yesterday
      D               C                  G
And it must be dust or smoke that's in my eyes
