Intro: (Gsus4)(G)

It's the (C)start of a new life (G)day
Oh yeah, (C)right, like I (D)haven't heard that (G)one before
You know (C)everything I (D)tried to quit I only (G)wanted some more
(G/F#)So I (Em)let the weeds grow up
Called them (C)flowers of the (Am)common man

But in my (D)head, in my head
I can (C)hear the gentle voices (C/addG)say:
Stop (G)smoking
(C)Take a deep (D)breath and stop (G)smoking
(C)Then you can take (D)more deep breaths
Stop (G)smoking
(C)Spend a few more (D)days with your (Em)family and (C)friends
And if you want to keep hitting that (D)high note
Stop (G)smoking

And I won't (C)do it for another (G)soul
No, it's gotta be (C)me
I wanna say (D)when and where there's a (G)mountain to climb
And (C)thank you very (D)much I want to waste my (G)own time
(G/F#)After (Em)his way and her way
And they (C)left me in the (Am)darkest alleys

But it's (D)time, I guess it's time
'Cause the (C)voice is getting (C/addG)stronger still:
Stop (G)smoking
(C)Time to reach for (D)higher realms
Stop (G)smoking
(C)Time to boycott (D)Jesse Helms
Stop (G)smoking
And (C)then you can check (D)"no" when they (Em)ask if you (C)smoke
And all that stuff feels (D)great
So stop (G)smoking

Well there's a (D)door I ran away from
For (G)every door I tried
(G/F#)Now I've (Em)got my guilty conscience and I've (C)got my guilty (Am)pride
But now you (D)tell me that the world needs my (C)hot blood
My (Bm)wildest dreams
And (C)all that my mending bones and (Am)unschooled heart have to (D)give (D7)

So, (C)big sur(Dsus4)prise, I (D)just stopped (G)smoking
Yeah, la di (C)dah, now don't re(Dsus4)mind me
I (D)think I'm (G)going insane
But I (C)got the guts to (Dsus4)leave the (D)cult of (G)beautiful pain
(G/F#)Where I (Em)danced with seven veils of my(C)sterious pol(Am)lution

And it's (D)hard, I think it's hard
Trying to (C)find a life that I can (C/addG)live
Janis (G)Joplin
(C)Great spirit, (Dsus4)lost the (D)wheels, stop (G)running
The (C)center could not (Dsus4)feel, (D)start to (G)feel it
I know (C)life can (Dsus4)make and (D)break an (Em)acid (C)queen
Us great spirits gotta (D)watch it
Stop (G)smoking (C)(G) . . .  (C)(G) . . . (C)(G)
