Verse 1:
G                  Em
  We stood in your room
    Bm          C
and laughed out loud
G            Em
Suddenly the laughter
         Am
died and we were caught
      C      G
in an eye to eye
              Em
We sat on the floor
        Bm     C
and did we sit close
G
I could smell your
Em
thoughts and thought
Am             C
Do you want to touch
           G
a lot like me? Too
 C              G
scared to say a thing


Refrain 1:
  Bm
I left your house
    C
and kicked myself
  Em
I put those feelings
D             C
on a shelf to die
  Bm
I guess I'm not a
C
gambling type but
Em
think of what the
D
two of us had
C        C
lost had lost


Verse 2:
G               Em
  I needed some time
   Bm       C
to think it out
G        Em
7-Eleven parking lot
  Am
A toothless woman
C           G
turned and stopped
             Em
I gave her a dime
      Bm     C
and a Chesterfield
G
She leaned down and
Em
kissed my cheek
Am
I was scared but
C       G
it felt sweet
C       G
Felt so sweet


Refrain 2:
    Bm
She asked me
     C
if I had a name
  Em
I told her I
    D
was glued up on
     C
some chick We
Bm
sat and smoked
 C
against the wall
Em
Drank a beer
D
felt the chill
   C       C
of fall of fall


Chorus 1:
G           D/F#
  I took my car and
         Em
drove it down the
D            C
hill by your house
  G/B      Am
I drove so fast
G             D/F#
  The wind it couldn't
        Em
cool me down so I
D          C
turned it around
    G/B       Am
and came back up
G          D/F#
  You were waiting
         Em
on your step steam
D
showing off your
C          G/B
breath and water
        Am  G
in your eyes We
            D/F#
pulled each other
     Em
into one parkas
D
clinging on the
C        G/B
lawn and kissed 
      D    G C G D G C G D
right there

Said all my chicks
      C
they smoke these
       Em
things and handed you

a Chesterfield King
Bm
Held your hand and
C              Em

the little lines

along your palm your palm
