Intro: G  F   C  G  


1st Verse  

G                                    Em  
Couldn't wait around just to share a smoke.  
G                                              Em  
Burned it down to the filter till it burned my throat.  
G                                           Em   
Made me start to think of what I ought to know,  
F                C          F           C  
So I put out the fire and I wrote you a note,  

  

       G                               F           C        G  
Said I just smoked the last, from that old pack of Shanghai cigarettes  
G                                           Em  
Left it all in the past so there's nothing left.  
G                       F           Em  
Go on, say hello, but I hope you know:  
F                   C                F          G  
This will never be right, and I will never let go.  

 

2nd Verse  

G                                Em  
Remember the day the whole thing started?  
G                                      Em  
And the little gold box in the glove compartment.  
G                                    Em  
I think I told you so, it was always waiting  
F             C           F            C  
To be opened at the first sign of breaking  

 
G                                      F          C            G  
And I just smoked the last, from that old pack of Shanghai cigarettes.  
G                                           Em     
Left it all in the past and there's nothing left.  
G                          F        Em   
Go on and say hello, but I hope you know  
          F        C                 F         G  
This will never be right, and I will never let go.  
 

3rd Verse  

G                                   Em    
Here we go again, with the long goodbye  
G                                   Em  
Cause you let the smoke get in your eyes  
G                                                      Em  
Trying to make you quit, will make you wish you didn't start  
         F         C            F            C          
When the box is as empty as the hole in your heart,  

 

          G  
Cause you just smoked the last  
        F           C        G  
Of that old pack of Shanghai cigarettes  
G                                           Em   
Left it all in the past and there's nothing left.  
G                          F        Em  
Go on and say hello, but I hope you know  
           F       C                 F         C      
This will never be right, and I will never let go.  
           F       C                 F         C  
This will never be right, and I will never let go.  
           F       C                 F         G  
This will never be right, I won't let you go.
