Down in the hospital on the 9th ward
An old man scratches his head
Reaching into his bedside drawer
He waits 'til the nurse is downstairs
'I'm nearly cured I've been so brave
And there's no need to fret
I'm gonna really quit this time
Let me smoke my one last cigarette'

Verse 3:
Repeat Chorus Chords for Verse 3
The awkward girl with a broken heart
Smashes her mirror until it fractures
Leaning down she picks up a shard
And ponders to question her actions
A selfish act, she's full aware
But the best one she's done yet
With tired eyes and steady hands
She'll smoke her one last cigarette
Chorus 2:
GStraight as a Emcorkscrew
GAs bright as the Cnight
GBlind to the Emhorror
Dadd11Blind to the Fmaj7very hCorror of this sorry Glife
