Smokin' And Crying'

Alex Roe


Tom: D

D                                                               A
Sittin' waitin' tables while she's sittin' waitin' for him to show
         D                                    A
What her name or story was, maybe I'll never know
Bm
She ain't tryin' to hide what's goin' on inside
       D
And I know I've been there before
 Bm                          Bm7
Waitin' for somebody at the only place
                    A
You'll see them anymore

 A                                                    G
Well, she's hidin' out there in her car, smokin' and cryin'
                   D                                   A    A9
She don't have to go too far to figure out that she's dyin'
A                                                       G
Thinks her cigarette'll make it better, but she's just lyin'
        D                                         A
To herself about gettin' him back, she's still tryin'
        Bm                                            G
Nothin's ever gonna change but the time, man, it's flyin'
                         A
While she's smokin' and cryin'

D                          D9                           A
She sees him pull up in his old truck with a brand-new girl
          D
I saw her face as she walked into the place
       D9            A
And it wrecked her world
Bm                                       Bm7     
Wish I could go outside and give her my best advice
    D
And tell her it would be okay
         Bm                                       A
But I just drank my coffee, and then I went on my way

 A                                                         G                 
Now she's hidin' out there in her car, still smokin' and cryin'
                  D                                    A    A9
She don't have to go too far to figure out that she's dyin'
A                                                      G
Thinks her cigarette'll make it better, but she's just lyin'
        D                                  A
To herself about gettin' him back, she's tryin'
        Bm                                         G
Nothin's ever gonna change but the time, man, it's flyin'
                    A
She's smokin' and cryin'
