[verse 1]
G..He smokes another cigarette
He's got the posture of an honest man
GmAnd now he's floating
Through my city
Gm FGot some quarters in his jeans
GAnd he knows he's pretty
He's got the confidence
For these type of things
GmSomehow i pulled him
From the corner
Gm FOf a bar across the street
[pre-chorus]
G..And while i'm shades of flattered
At some good romance and manners
GmOh i fear i'm doing better
Gm FWith no hands to comfort me
[chorus]
GAnd i say it doesn't matter
I pretend love's chutes and ladders
GmI'll pr?tend love's chutes and ladders
Gm F'till the game stops playing me
[verse 2]
GHe smokes another cigarette
This time i'm watching
From my lover's bed
CmWhere spent a couple evenings
Gm FThough i never get much sleep
GAnd i can't help thinking
Is this moving all too quick
CmI know i swore i wouldn't stick around
Gm F CFor more than just a week...
[pre-chorus]
GAnd while i'm shades of flattered
At some bedside table banter
CmOh i fear i'm doing better
Gm FWith no hands to comfort me
[chorus]
GAnd i say it doesn't matter
I pretend love's chutes and ladders
CmI'll pretend love's chutes and ladders
Gm F'till the game stops playing me
[bridge]
Cm GmAnd he, he doesn't even notice it
Cm GmThat i'm sinking in way too deep
Cm Gm..And he, he doesn't even keep it in
Cm Gm FAll those promises we would never keep...
[verse 3]
GHe smokes another cigarette
This time i'm sitting right across from him
CmAt a table, at a park
Gm F C..Where we decide to meet...
G..And now i'm choking
On the things i'll never say to him
Cm'cause i know he won't remember
Gm FAll the things he said to me
[pre-chorus]
G..And while i'm shades of flattered
At some good romance and manners
CmOh i fear i'm doing better
Gm FWith no hands to comfort me
[chorus]
GAnd i say it doesn't matter
I pretend love's chutes and ladders
CmI'll pretend love's chutes and ladders
Gm F'till the game stops playing me
[outro]
GHe smokes another cigarette
And i'm on fire
GI'm on fire
I'm on fire
G..He smokes another cigarette
And i'm on fire
GI'm on fire
GI'm on fire
