  			C       G7              C 
Two cigarettes in an ashtray 
            F             C 
My love and I  in a small cafe 
       F 
Then a stranger came along 
    C               A7 
And everything went wrong 
            D7                         G7 
Now there's three cigarettes in the ashtray 
  
C             F             C 
I watched her take him from me 
        F                    C 
And his love is no longer my own 
F 
Now they are gone 
    C     A7 
And I sit alone 
          F       G7         C 
And watch one cigarette burn away 

              F             C 
I watched her take him from me 
        F                    C 
And his love is no longer my own 
F 
Now they are gone 
    C     A7 
And I sit alone 
          F       G7         C 
And watch one cigarette burn away
