Nicotine - Disclaimer:  Chords figured out by Richard Lane.  We are a little unsure of 
~~~~~~~~                some of these lyrics, but they should be pretty close.  If 
                        anyone has a better guess on the what she may be singing then 
                        please email me.  By the way, this song is one rockin' tune!

VERSE 1 :

Em            | Bm      | Em          | Bm  | D            | G           |
  My nights are cold,     bitter even.        Can't seem to sleep for the

Bm             | E         | Em            | Bm               | Em
sound of my own breathing     Throwin' down whiskey, keeping my mind away

       | Bm   | D               | G                     | Bm
from it all... and I can hear you whispering "pride will always come

    | E        |
before a fall"

CHORUS :

C          | D                   | C                     | D
(take  my  hand)                             (take my heart)
      the     barroom walls     are nicotine stained and your arrogence

             |  Em                | C               | G        /F# |
leaves only     tears glistening      ...  why do you hurt me ?
                      and then you ask me "why do you hurt me ?"

VERSE 2 :

Em         | Bm                   | Em              | Bm             |
 Read it in lipstick scrawl written high and pink on a toilet wall..

D | G           | Bm          | E | (rest)          | Em            |
    "baby, can I hold you ?"         Somebody starts loving somebody

Bm                 | D                | G       | Bm | E |
else (?) heart on a skewer, heart on a shelf (?)
