[Intro]
C   G   Dm   G

[Verse 1]
C                G
  She asks for a light
      C                   G
As our secrets spill on the
window sill
C                   G
  We're buyin' more time
        C
While we kill ourselves
      G
as we both inhale

[Pre-Chorus]
F                        G
Making believe there's a future
F                    G
Is it naive to think we could work?
    F                       G
The second it's out, then I lose her
      F
We're already here,
       G
so one more won't hurt
It won't hurt

[Chorus]
    C                  G
But all that we are is all
that we'll ever be
       Am           G          F
'Cause he's the one waitin' at home
    C                    G
She holds my guitar as I pluck
out a melody
        Am      G          F
There's only so far we can go
        F            G        Am
Next to you but I'll never be close
             G                 G
So take your time while you're mine
          C
and smoke slow

[Verse 2]
          G
Breakin' away
        F                   G
For the hell of it, started innocent
C             G               F
  Telling you things that I've
  never said
    G
Hope I don't regret this

[Pre-Chorus]
F                         G
Making believe that we're clueless
F                        G
One little spark that we won't put out
F                  G
Making a million excuses
       F                     G
'Cause isn't it fun just for now?

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Am             G
  Addicted to illusions of
                    F
  a love that never was
                     G
and never will be anyway, ooh
Am                   G
  And nicotine don't taste the
  same if I'm not with
    F                         G
you savouring every breath we take
Am        G     F       C
Play with fire, take me higher

[Chorus]
C                  G
All that we are is all
that we'll ever be
       Am           G           F
'Cause he's the one waitin' at home
    C                    G
She holds my guitar as I pluck
out a melody
        Am      G          F
There's only so far we can go
        F            G        Am
Next to you but I'll never be close
             G                 G
So take your time while you're mine
