Chords for Cameron Douglas - That Cigarette | Sofar London

One actually my dad wrote.
It's about like his first girlfriend when he was like 17.
And the story is, so he's 17, [A] he was at a house party, he was like [C] super into this girl,
he thought everything was going really well. _
Out of the blue she's rocked up and said,
Joe, can I talk to you outside for a second?
My [Gm] dad, completely oblivious what was going to
happen, just said, okay, fine.
He went outside and lit a cigarette.
And before he had [Fm] time to
take his first puff, she said, Joe, I think we should break up.
And he remembers that moment
when the cigarette kind of burnt to the tip and then the ash falling to the ground and
his life was like devastated.
About [Am] that kind of moment that happened [G] 30 or 40 years ago.
