E                     A         E
Why is this window so dirty and gray
E                       A     E
I can't see you through it anymore 
   E                 A            E
It may be the smoke, it's hard to say
    E                      A         E
The fact is this place has too many doors


I can't find a handle on any of them
Maybe I see one but I don't wanna turn it
What if I did and it opened on him
Ain't truth a b***h when you're havin' to learn


CHORUS:
  B                   A         E
Before a heart breaks it has to bend
         A                                      B
It's the last one to know when love comes to an end
    A                              E
And here I sit crazy, lonesome and sad
D           A        E
Watchin' me dark and mad
D           A        E
Watchin' me dark and mad


This cigarette burns like the pain in my soul
When the fire gets too hot the ash turns to coal
The smoke tells a story, it's sad but it's true
It turns into a ghost that looks just like you


Well I close my eyes and I silently scream
My mind comes and goes, it drifts and it dreams
The cold hand of death is welcomin' warm
It's the essence of love in it's darkest form


CHORUS

D           A        E
Watchin' me dark and mad
D           A        E
Watchin' me dark and mad
