Cold Beer And Cigarettes

DDDD AA 

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       G#m       A	E
Right on, right on, right on
      F#m	B    B7 E
Right on, right on
      C#m       G#m       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
