F........................................................................Gm7/F..................../F#
A cigarette butt when you throw it in the water goes "ssst"
Gm7.............................Gm7/C.............................F
But the trick, but the trick is you shouldn't laugh
F.....................................................................Gm7/F....../F#
'Cause if you start laughin' you're just a coward
Gm7.............Gm7/C.............................F........./G../A
If you start laughing you're just a coward

Bb...................C7........................F....../G../A
Everybody wants to live just once
Bb...................C7..........................F.....Am7/E...Dm7...Dm7/C
Everybody's got to see it that way
.................Bb.Dm7/A.Gm7
And see what your life
Bb..Dm7/A..Gm7
What your life
Bb..Dm7/A.Gm7.Gm7/C.F...Bb
What your life can be

F......................................................Gm7/F.../F#
There's been songs about celebration
Gm7..................Gm7/C.................F
But if you ask me I can't see why
F............................................................................Gm7/F........./F#
There's too much pain, too much pain in my heart now
Gm7.......................Gm7/C..........................F......../G../A
Ooh you're gonna have to prove it to me

F.......................................................Gm7/F
Now some people talkin' about ecology
Gm7...............................Gm7/C..........................F....../F#
Why don't somebody do somebody right now
F...................................................................Gm7/F
And we're all chokin' on the end of our grief now
Gm7...................Gm7/C...................F......../G../A
How could we all just let it slide by
