I Wish I Still Smoked Ciggarettes

Tom : G
G
I wish I still smoked cigarettes, light one up and travel time
When a stiff drink and a whispered yes was enough to light a fire,
C
to feel alive
G
Wish I could go back to those nights sometimes
G
I wish I still drove a muscle car, horses rumbling under the hood
Flyin' past the welcome sign under the stars, wishin' I could leave for good
C
I swore I would
Em D
Every now and then I go back to that neighborhood

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

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

[Chorus]
[Solo]
Em
, D , C , C , Em , D , D

[Verse]
G
I wish I still smoked cigarettes, something to calm my nerves
Wherever you are tonight, you were better than I deserve
C
I wish I still smoked cigarettes
Am D
So I had something to let go up in smoke
