[Intro] D Dsus Dm G7 A D
D        Dsus
Well it's 3am,

Dm        Dsus
and so I creep

G7             G
around the house

A         D
cause you're asleep

D       Dsus
I want you to

Dm        Dsus
sleep real tight

  D        Dsus
I dont want to

G7             G
turn on any light

D              Dsus
I care about you

Dm        Dsus
about you I fret

G7          G
but right now

A              D
I need a cigarette

D        Dsus
I can't sleep,

Dm         Dsus
I gotta smoke

G7                 G
I think I left some

A          D
in  my coat

D       Dsus
No they're not there,

Dm           Dsus
but there's a chance

G7          G
I left some in a

A               D
pocket in my pants

D                    Dsus
Bumped into the table, just below the belt

G7                            G
If you were a man baby you'd know how that felt
[Bridge]
Dm
ahhhahh

Bm                      E
Just one thing I don't want to do

Bm                      E
And that one thing is to wake up you

Bm                     G
My hands are shaking, my brow it is damp

A                       A
Bumped into the chair, knocked over the lamp

A                       A
Bumped into the chair, knocked over the lamp

D        Dsus
Sure I know where

Dm         Dsus
some cigarettes are

G7          G
But it's too cold

A                    D
outside to go to the car

D        Dsus
I know this habit of mine,

Dm         Dsus
it's gotta be fed

D        Dsus
I'm gonna get down

Dm         Dsus
I'm gonna scrounge

G7          Dsus
around under the Bed

D        Dsus
Under the bed,

Dm         Dsus
down on the floor

G7          G
Up on top baby

A               Dsus
I can hear you snore

D        Dsus
Snore baby, oh

Dm         Dsus
Snore baby, oh

G7          G
Eureka! I'm in luck

A           D
I found some matches

D           Dsus
and a crumpled butt

 D          G
And just to show

A      D
I love you

D           Dsus
I'm not gonna look for an ashtray baby,
I'm gonna use your shoe!
