[intro]
(ad nearly infinitum)
[verse]
In your underclothes you went out for a smoke
I call you in just before the storm begins
Your last breath of smoke you let out in the room
It makes a cloud like the greyist perfect plume
[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
[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]
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
[post-chorus]
(Who gave you time to cry? Who gave you time to find yourself?)
(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
All this rock and roll baby Only time will tell
But we re young now, having fun now, on the town now, get around now, it s fine for
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?)
