This cigar burns a hole straight through my jeans,

That i will never show but somehow everybody seems to know my demons.
C
In all my efforts I've committed treason.

Chasing dreams that are changing like the seasons.

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.

And I know I've never been the kind to let them get inside my mind.

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.

Cause it burns my lungs and hurts my tongue to know that
