E5 B5
It was cold in the kitchen and the lights were low
D5 A5
As winter slowly stumbled home
E5 B5
The air felt different and it started to show
D5 A5
As every breath resembled smoke
E5 B5
I was short of opinions and I wanted to know
D5 A5
If you'd still be here tomorrow
E5 B5
Cuz it was cold in the kitchen and the lights were low
D5 A5
As winter wrapped around Chicago

E5 B5
The T.V.'s on too much
D5 A5
And I don't ever think enough
E5 B5
About the things that matter most
D5 A5
Or what can make me old
E5 B5
And there's no argument
D5 A5
For wasting time much better spent
E5 B5
Complacent(ly) *BB is not one to stick to the same lyrics...
(in) replacing
D5 A5
A melody with smoke

I play these chords like this...
As has been suggested, you can play around with these chords a lot.
For instance, using m7th's or m11th's, or 74's...

 E5 B5 D5 A5 E5 B5 D5 A5
E | -7---7---5---5---7-----7-5-5--- | 
B | -8---7---6---5---7-----7-7-5--- | 
G | -7---7---5---5---(b9)----8-7-6--- | 
D | -(b9)--7---7---5---(b9)----(b9)7-7--- | 
A | -7---(b9)--5---7---7-----(b9)5-7--- | 
E | -----7-------5---------7---5--- | 

(play this 3x)

 E5 G5 A5 G5 A5
E | --------------------------------0-- | -0-------------0---0------------ | 
B | -(b9)----------------------------0-- | -0-------------0---0------------ | 
G | -(b9)-11--(b9)---------------------4-- | -6-------------4---6------------ | 
D | -----11--(b9)(b9)--6--6--4--2----5-- | -7-------------5---7------------ | 
A | -----------/11\(b9)-7--7--4--2----5-- | -7-------------5---7------------ | 
E | --------------------------------3-- | -5-------------3---5------------ | 

Or this way as suggested by Mark Gedmin (mrgedmi@ilstu.edu)

E | -----------------0--0--- | 
B | --(b9)7-5----------0--0--- | 
G | ---------4-2-1---4--6--- | 
D | --(b9)7-6----------5--7--- | 
A | ---------5-2-2---5--7--- | 
E | -----------------3--5--- | 

(then this transition riff to get to the next part)

E | -------------------------------- | 
B | -7-6-----6-----6-(b9)8------8----- | 
G | -----(b9)7---7-(b9)------11-(b9)------ | 
D | -------------------------------- | 
A | -------------------------------- | 
E | -------------------------------- | 

(repeat this with the following lyrics)

 B5 A5 G5 F5 E5 F5 G5 A5
E | -0---0--0---0--0---0--0---0- | 
B | -0---0--0---0--0---0--0---0- | 
G | -8---6--4---2--1---2--4---6- | 
D | -(b9)--7--5---3--2---3--5---7- | 
A | -(b9)--7--5---3--2---3--5---7- | 
E | -7---5--3---1--0---1--3---5- | 

I don't expect a smile when I come home
But the blankets that I stole should keep you warm
I hope there's not enough to fill a hole
I'm further from the source to feel the floor

Then this again...

E | -------------------------------- | 
B | -7-6-----6-----6-(b9)8------8----- | 
G | -----(b9)7---7-(b9)------11-(b9)------ | 
D | -------------------------------- | 
A | -------------------------------- | 
E | -------------------------------- | 

(now repeat everything up to the 1st transition riff,
and end with an A5 chord that fades into a B5 chord)
