INTRO: C E7 Fmaj7 G7sus4 G7 C Csus4
C E7
If you want some real contentment, to live life at its best,
F+2 Fm
You can buy these dry tobacco leaves, to breathe into your chest.
C A7 D7 D6
And then look up at the billboard, while all the promises come
G Gsus4/A G5(add C#)/B G/B
true, for you.
C E7
You'll feel alive with pleasure, playful as a child.
F+2 Fm
You've come to where the freedom is. You're cool and mild.
C A7 D7 D6
You'll laugh with every lungful as the change comes
G7sus4 G7 C Csus4 G7sus4
over you.
G7sus4 G7 C G7sus4 G7 C
So look up at the billboard. See her smiling, sexy and tan.
Csus4 G7sus4 G7 C Am7 D7/F# G Gsus4/A
G/B
But the only one who's laughing is the advertising man.
C E7
Those portraits of pleasure, of those who like to smoke,
F Fm
They're laughing in the photograph, but we don't get the joke.
C A7 D7 D6
Now why would they be smiling while they're looking
G Gsus4/A G5(add C#)/B G/B
down our way?
C E7
I guess they're making easy money climbing up the rungs,
F Fm
>From selling us a parasite that's feeding on our lungs.
C A7 D7 D6
They must be laughing in astonishment that we believe the things
G7sus4 G7 C Csus4 G7sus4
they say.
G7sus4 G7 C G7sus4 G7 C
So look up at the billboard. See her smiling, sexy and tan.
Csus4 G7sus4 G7 C Am7 D7/F# G Gsus4/A
G/B
But the only one who's laughing is the advertising man.
C E7
Now crack'll kill you quickly. That's why it's got to go.
F+2 Fm
They'll get more of your money if they kill you nice and slow.
