Cigarettes

Verse 1

I bought a pack a year ago

Thought I'd just have one or two

But something went wrong somehow

It got the best of you

Pre-Chorus

And now I'm

Smoking by the window

Smoking in the car

Smoking in the bathroom

Smoking at the bar

Chorus

I wanna quit (I wanna quit)

'Cause I'm addicted

I'm so damn sick (I'm so sick)

Can't get this habit off my lips

Cigarettes (cigarettes)

I wish I never met 'em

Cigarettes (cigarettes)

I wish I didn't have 'em in my chest

Verse 2

A couple more and I'll be dead

But I still reach up on that shelf

I can't seem to help myself

I think I need some help

Pre-Chorus

And now I'm

Waking up in a sweat

Feeling weak and sick to my stomach

I got cancer in my lungs

I won't stop 'til it's done

Chorus

I wanna quit (I wanna quit)

'Cause I'm addicted

I'm so damn sick (I'm so sick)

Can't get this habit off my lips

Cigarettes (cigarettes)

I wish I never met 'em

Cigarettes (cigarettes)

I wish I didn't have 'em in my chest

Bridge

I'm not gonna smoke no more

I'll throw all my packs out the door

It's the last time, I'm sure

Just one more

Just one more

Just one more

Just one more

Chorus

I wanna quit (I wanna quit)

'Cause I'm addicted

I'm so damn sick (I'm so sick)

Can't get this habit off my lips

Cigarettes (cigarettes)

I wish I never met 'em

Cigarettes (cigarettes)

I wish I didn't have 'em in my chest

Outro

Cigarettes (cigarettes)

I wish I never met 'em

Cigarettes (cigarettes)

I wish

Verse 3

Six in the morning, hand on the drawer

Where I hid the lighter I swore I threw away

My baby says she's leaving

If I light one up today

Pre-Chorus

And now I'm

Lying through my teeth again

Saying this is the last one

Chewing gum and pacing round

Watching all the daylight run

Chorus

I wanna quit (I wanna quit)

'Cause I'm addicted

I'm so damn sick (I'm so sick)

Can't get this habit off my lips

Cigarettes (cigarettes)

I wish I never met 'em

Cigarettes (cigarettes)

I wish I didn't have 'em in my chest

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Get 'em off my lips

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Get 'em off my lips

Verse 4

Patches on my shoulder

Nicotine gum stuck to my shoe

Mama prayed at Sunday church

Said son, what's gotten into you

Pre-Chorus

And I'm

Shaking in the parking lot

Crying in my truck

Throwing punches at the dashboard

'Cause I just can't give it up

Chorus

I wanna quit (I wanna quit)

'Cause I'm addicted

I'm so damn sick (I'm so sick)

Can't get this habit off my lips

Cigarettes (cigarettes)

I wish I never met 'em

Cigarettes (cigarettes)

I wish I didn't have 'em in my chest

Guitar Solo

Bridge 2

Thirty days and counting now

White knuckles on the wheel

I don't want a coffin, Lord

I just want to feel

Verse 5

Drove past the gas station

Didn't even slow it down

Rolled my window all the way up

Drove straight through that town

Pre-Chorus

And now I'm

Breathing like a newborn

Standing in the yard

The doctor called me Monday

Said come back, we'll check your heart

Chorus

I wanna quit (I wanna quit)

'Cause I'm addicted

I'm so damn sick (I'm so sick)

Can't get this habit off my lips

Cigarettes (cigarettes)

I wish I never met 'em

Cigarettes (cigarettes)

I wish I didn't have 'em in my chest

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Get 'em off my lips

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Get 'em off my lips

Outro

Ninety days, I'm still here

Still reach for nothing in my coat

Cigarettes (cigarettes)

I wish I never met 'em

Cigarettes (cigarettes)

I wish I didn't have 'em in my chest

(Farewell, farewell)

(Farewell, farewell)
