Tabbed by C. MacInnis

[intro]
F#m Bm F#m Bm C# (ad nearly infinitum)

[verse]
F#m
In your underclothes you went out for a smoke
Bm
I call you in just before the storm begins
F#m
Your last breath of smoke you let out in the room
Bm				  C#
It makes a cloud like the greyist perfect plume


[chorus]
F#m
Smoke baby, smoke baby more alcohol baby
Bm
Cocaine in Montreal and back out on a plane baby
F#m
An early flight will leave and on it will be me 
Bm        					     C#    
I'll be half asleep and you'll get up at three

[post-chorus]
F#m (acoustic ring - - )   Bm (acoustic ring - - )
(Who gave you time to cry? Who gave you time to find yourself?)

[verse]
Casual as a light
Flickers before it's night
Sadness comes
And the daylight turns and runs
As the sun is setting you'll be betting
I'll be getting through
I'll find a payphone baby
And take a minute to talk to you

[chorus]
F#m
Smoke baby, smoke baby more alcohol baby
Bm
Cocaine in Montreal and back out on a plane baby
F#m
An early flight will leave and on it will be me 
Bm        					     C#     Bm
I'll be half asleep and you'll get up at three

[post-chorus]
F#m				   Bm
(Who gave you time to cry? Who gave you time to find yourself?)
F#m				   Bm					C#
(Who gave you time to cry? Who gave you time to find yourself?)

[verse]
(N.C.)
And I have never felt quite this close to hell
Bm
All this rock and roll baby Only time will tell
F#m
But we're young now, having fun now, on the town now, get around now, it's fine for 
Bm				     C#
now but someday we'll settle down
But not now, baby

[chorus]
Smoke baby, smoke baby
More alcohol baby
Cocaine in Montreal 
And back out on a plane baby
An early flight will leave
And on it will be me 
I'll be half asleep
And you'll get up at three

[Synthesizer plays something like Bm-F#m-Dsus2, listen for the timing]

(Somewhere on the outside.)

(Who gave you time to cry? And time to find yourself?)
