Intro.:  (G) x 4 bars

I wish I (G)still smoked cigarettes, light one up and travel time
A stiff drink and a whisper just is enough to light a fire
(G/B)Feel a-(C)live
Wish I could go back to those nights sometimes (G)

I wish I (G)still drove a muscle car, horses rumbling under the hood
Flyin' past the welcome sign under the stars, wishin' I could leave for good
I (G/B)swore I (C)would..
Every now and then I go back to that neighborhood (Em) (D)

(Chorus)
I wish I (C)still did a lot of things, I don't do anymore
When I didn't (G)know what wasn't good for me, but I knew everything else for sure
I guess what I (Em)really miss is the freedom, then the (D)way it felt, the innocence
That's what I (C)really meant when I (Am)said ---

I wish I (G)still smoked cigarettes, I felt more grown up then
We were talking about where we were gonna go instead of where we'd been
(G/B) We'd (C)ride around the lake and make those plans
Still had the world in the palm of our (Em)hands, we never had a (D)chance, now and then

(Chorus)
I wish I (C)still did a lot of things, I don't do anymore
When I didn't (G)know what wasn't good for me, but I knew everything else for sure
I guess what I (Em)really miss is the freedom, then the (D)way it felt, the innocence
That's what I (C)really meant when I said, (Am) (G) I wish I still smoked cigarettes

Solo:  |(Em) |(D) |(C) |(C) |(Em) |(D) |(D) ---

I wish I (G)still smoked cigarettes, something to calm my nerves
Wherever you are tonight, you were better than I deserve
(G/B) I wish I (C)still smoked cigarettes
(G/B) So I had something to let (Am)go up in (D)smoke ---
