D             A-F#m            Bm
I've been the one who has been frightened
           G
I'm almost borne away
            D                      G
By the very thoughts that I feared yesterday
       A               G                  D
And it must be dust or smoke that's in my eyes
               A                 G                    D
How can I cry about something or someone that I won't see
       A                   G       D
All my friends all say she had her chance
A        G          D
Let's go shoot some pool
           G       A      D
You know a fool is just a fool
         D          Dmaj7      D7        G
And I've tried everything that whiskey cures
               A-A7
But the pain endures

        D            A-F#m
Now I'm feeling that pain
         Bm          G
I put my pride in my pocket
                D                  G
That's how I'll spend my loneliest days
       A               G                  D
And it must be dust or smoke that's in my eyes

A     G            D
Don't know what to do
         A     G        D
Hold the lamp above the rafter
                   G          A     G 
These smoke filled rooms will not replace her

D             A-F#m            Bm
I've been the one who has been frightened
           G
And almost borne away
            D                      G
By the very thoughts that I feared yesterday
       A               G                  D
But it must be dust or smoke that's in my eyes
