Verse.
Am F7 D G
No fire now, No smoke
Am F7 D G
Bloody fingers and I'm feeling soaked
Am F7 D G
Bad father gets Bad son
Am F7 D G
Bad everything Bad no one
Chorus.
F7 Am
'Cuz I need the fire
G Am
And I need the smoke
F7 Am
My face in a smirk
G Am
'Cuz life is a joke
F7 Am
The sun seems to shine
G Am
On everyone I know
G
So why am I in the shadows
Am
Cuz I choke
Verse.
Life takes love
Breaks almost everyone
I've tasted the color of sunshine
Lives will destroy
Kill all the joy
I'm sorry but
I was just a boy
Chorus.
And I need the fire
And I need the smoke
My face in a smirk
'Cuz life is a joke
The sun seems to shine
On everyone I know
So why am I in the shadows
'Cuz I'm a joke

Verse.
(Pick this part with the verse chords.)
No fire now
Life takes somethin' away
Bloody fingers yet
I have nothin' to say
No diving gray?
Will take the pain away
Hope I make it clear
Hope I get free some day
Chorus.
'Cuz I need the fire
And I need the smoke
My face in a smirk
'Cuz life is a joke
The sun seems to shine
On everyone I know
So why am I in the shadows
Cuz I choke
