Verse:

Em
This cigar burns a hole straight through my jeans, 
                    C
and through your heart.
                                G
As i watch the ashes form another scar.
                                        D/F#m                  Em
That i will never show but somehow everybody seems to know my demons.
                                 C
In all my efforts I've committed treason.
                                           Am
Chasing dreams that are changing like the seasons.
                                      C        B/Am7      D
They make me feel so small but I'm so proud to tell them all that



Chorus:
     Em   C
I'm a man now.
G            D/F#m
I can drive a car.
         Em   C
And I'm a dropout.
    G        D/F#m
I'm nobody so far.
            Em    C    G                 D/F#m
But I don't mess with cigarettes or alcohol.
               Em        C
Cause I'm the best there is.
            G             D/F#m              Em
And they tell me all the winners smoke cigars.


(Repeat Intro: Em D/F#m G Am B/Am7 C )


Verse:
      Em                                              C
This guitar is pouring melodies that burn inside my heart.
                                     G
As the sound is broken up by passing cars.
                              
They don't know that I'm above.
             D/F#m                        Em
Or that I'm swimming in the middle of an ocean.
                               C
I'm riding on a wave or pure emotion.
                               Am
I'm drinking up this sea like it's a potion.
C                
Maybe i can mend new wings.
          B/Am7          D
I'll either float or start to sink.



Chorus:
     Em   C
I'm a man now.
G            D/F#m
I can drive a car.
         Em   C
And I'm a dropout.
    G        D/F#m
I'm nobody so far.
            Em    C    G                 D/F#m
But I don't mess with cigarettes and alcohol.
               Em        C
Cause I'm the best there is.
            G             D/F#m              
And they tell me all the winners play guitar.

Am C G D/F#m
Am C G D/F#m
      Am                                                        C
And I know I've never been the kind to let them get inside my mind.
          G                 D/F#m
You just got to see that I need them on my side.
     Am                                                C
I promise not to breathe it in, or ever strum a chord again.
           G                                      D/F#m
Cause it burns my lungs and hurts my tongue to know that



Verse:

Em
This cigar burns a hole straight through my jeans, 
                    C
and through your heart.
                                G
As i watch the ashes form another scar.
                                        D/F#m                  Em
That i will never show but somehow everybody seems to know my demons.
                                 C
In all my efforts I've committed treason.
                                           Am
Chasing dreams that are changing like the seasons.
                                      C        B/Am7      D
They make me feel so small but I'm so proud to tell them all that



Chorus:
     Em   C
I'm a man now.
G            D/F#m
I can drive a car.
         Em   C
And I'm a dropout.
    G        D/F#m
I'm nobody so far.
            Em    C    G                 D/F#m
But I don't mess with cigarettes or alcohol.
               Em        C
Cause I'm the best there is.
            G             D/F#m              Em
And they tell me all the winners smoke cigars.
