he hides behind his cigarette
Ab                          Bb
let's the smoke linger by his lips
Fm                                 Db
exhales his sorrows watches them float to the heavens
Ab
as the clouds taste his kiss

Fm                         Db
I can't help but take a picture
            Ab
to the catch the sadness in his grin

Fm                    Bb                     Ab
traipsing around like you were always blue
                     Bb                      Ab
but at the touch of love you turned a scarlet hue
                 Fm   Db          Ab
and that's all I ever wanted to do

Ab                             Bb
all that cheap talk, cold walks, cigarettes
Ab                             Bb
those drunk thoughts, 12 blocks, heartbroken regrets
Ab                   Bb
shattered bottles, alleyways empty

crowded front porches, and kids on LSD

even after you die you won't be dead

           Ab
I won't let you go
