        A#m 
Look no farther than the father's who go farther than they should 
       D#m7 
To the point where we're surrounded by the scars behind their hoods 
    A#m                D#m7 
and who no no is gonna teach them wrong from right? 

who's gonna tell them it's alright? 
F                          D#m7 
pass the just (?) cigarette 
           F                      D#m7 
take these brain cells out my head 
        F               D#m7 
fill my lungs, drain my heart 

Chorus 
            A#m                     D#m7 
'cause this smoke cloud's giving me shelter 
                G#m 
and I feel much better 
           F 
and demons wave the white flags for me 
        A#m                    D#m7 
'til my bones keep pleading to walk out 
                 G#m 
from all of this fall out 
               F 
but there's no way that I could leave 
           F# 
so I don't leave 
                       F 
turn the bitterness to sweet 
                     D#m7   F 
I need to find a new release 
                   A#m 
so I'm trading blues for green 
D#m7      G#m 
hey no no no no 
F 
oh no no no no no 

    A#m 
Now I'm a simple man I don't even have a phone 
     D#m7 
If I did I wouldn't pick it up I want to be alone 
A#m 
I don't trust anyone in this one-track town 
D#m7 
If I walk (?) then my eyes fall down 

A#m D#m7                          A#m 
Who is gonna teach them wrong from right? 
            D#m7 
Who's gonna tell them it's alright? 
     F                          D#m7 
just pass the just (?) cigarette 
           F                      D#m7 
take these brain cells out my head 
        F               D#m7 
fill my lungs, drain my heart 

Chorus 
            A#m                     D#m7

D#m7 
Yeah 
                   G#m 
Oh I'm trading blues for green 
           F 
and demons wave the white flags for me 
        A#m                    D#m7
