Song Order and Lyrics:
Intro
Verse 1
If I keep smoking
This cold I;ll never go away
If I keep talking
I know you I;ll never come and stay
Stand the two up next to the other
Don't be strange to me my
Lover
Riff
Verse 2
All I got here is books and music
I used to have exercise but I out grew it
(Strum Verse)
I;m going home and you go silent
never know what to do just say it;s cool
Riff
and I;ll feel ok
Chorus
I feel cold next to the fire
It;s an old story but I think I like it
Riff x2
Verse 2
Chorus 2 (Chorus x2)
I feel cold next to the fire
it's an old story but I think I like it
Spend your days in indecision
I got a lot of things on my mind
this morning
Solo
Chorus 2
End
