            E
It's just a habit

        D
When I reach to the packet

        B
For my last cigarette

           C        E
Until the day breaks

            D          B
And then my hand shakes

       C                           E
But but bu-bu-bu-bu but it's just driving me insane

          D
When the smoke gets in my brain

          B     C
I can't resist it
[Chorus]
E E  F F     B B  C C
Wallow in that ash bath

E E  F F     B B  C C
Soaking up the fumes

E  F F       B  C C
And see the nicotine stain

E  F F       B  C C
Start to spread
[Bridge 1] E D B C [Verse 2]
           E
I'm so congested

                  D
Cos north, south, east and west

              B
Catarrh rests on my chest

    C                E
Congealed and twisted

         D           B
Cough up and shift it

         C
But I can feel my lungs collapse

         E
Sinking deep into my lap

    D      B      C
I'm so useless
[Brdige 2]
     E       C#        E       F     x2
For this part you can use these triads. They might sound better here.

[Chorus]
E E  F F     B B  C C
Wallow in that ash bath

E E  F F     B B  C C
Soaking up the fumes

E  F F       B  C C
And see the nicotine stain

E  F F       B  C C
Start to spread
[Brdige 1] E D B C [Verse 3]
        E
I'm so useful

       D
If you don't want to fight

     B
Just give your foe a fright

           C         E
Say you'll drop me

         D         B
On every country

    C            E
See see see see all will be stone dead

          D
When the nicotine stain spreads

     B          C
Just light me
[Chorus]
E E  F F     B B  C C
Wallow in that ash bath

E E  F F     B B  C C
Soaking up the fumes

E  F F       B  C C
And see the nicotine stain

E  F F       B  C C
Start to spread
