Intro : F  Bb  F  Bb  F 

     F                   Bb 
You used to feel like a smoker 
                  G 
Shivering in the cold 
                     C 
Waiting outside the bar 
                  F 
Til the opener's over 

     F                    Bb 
But now you feel like a drinker 
                      G 
Twenty days off the sauce 
                     C 
Down at the liquor store 
                       Bb 
Trying to call your sponsor 

                            C           F 
You used to feel like the forest fire burning 
     D      F                    Bb 
But now... now you feel like a child 
            C               F           Bb      F 
Throwing tantrums for your turn 

     F                     Bb 
You used to sound like a prophet 
                         G 
And everyone wanted to know 
                         C 
How you could tell the truth 
                           F 
Without losing that soft glow 

                         Bb 
But now you feel like a salesman 
                 G 
Closing another deal 
                       C 
Or some drunk ship captain 
                         Bb 
Raging after the white whale 

                           C            F 
You used to feel like the forest fire burning 
     D      F                    Bb 
But now... now you feel like a child 
            C               Bb 
Throwing tantrums and then some 

                            C          F 
You used to feel like the prodigal returning 
     D      F                        Bb 
But now... now you hate what you've made 
         C                Bb            F 
And you want to watch it burn
