Written by Linda Perry
Intro: A A Raised myself for a million lies I could sell religion to Jesus Christ A broken home, I left behind E A Gave up everything for a couple of lines A I know my time is growing near My heart is empty and there's no tears I wasted so many years E A Lost in the bottle 'till I disappeared G D Heading down the same routine A My throne is high just like a king G A But black tar and nicotine G A Shot me in the heart and killed my dreams A The world out there is bitter cold Filled my pockets with blood and stone The streets I grew up on, I called home E A Friends I had left me long ago G D Running far and in-between A I had it all at seventeen G A But black tar and nicotine G A Shot me in the heart and killed my dreams Solo A D A One day heaven came to take my pain E A With a fist full of pills and a needle stuck in my vein D A Tears roll down like sweat on my face E I didn't know what to do 'cause I was afraid A I'm sitting alone in this motel room Paper thin walls and a rack for my shoes Don't know where I'm going next E A Now I lay here in this bed G A 'Cause black tar and nicotine G A Shot me in the heart and killed my dreams G A 'Cause black tar and nicotine G A Shot me in the heart and killed my dreams G A 'Cause black tar and nicotine G A Shot me in the heart and killed my dreams G A 'Cause black tar and nicotine G A Shot me in the heart and killed my dreams
