Gm                            C
Up in smoke, you lost another lover
       Gm                            C
As you take a hit off your last cigarette

G#          Bb
Strung out, burn out
             Cm                        Bb

Freak out! I'm alone now! 
  Bb                           Eb
I feel just like I'm losing my mind
       Eb/D             Cm                 G#
'Cause love is like the right dress on the wrong girl
    Eb                           Bb
You never know what you're gonna find
    Cm                    Fm
You think you're high and fine as wine
         Bb                      Eb
Then you wind up like a dog in a ditch
       Eb/D           Cm              G#
'Cause love is like a wrong turn on a cold night
Fm                 Eb
Yeah, ain't that a bitch!
                                                       gliss

         G#      Bb
Then you fall so far from grace

You wouldn't know a kiss if it was on your face  
          G#                          Bb
You could tell it to the jury but you ain't got no case

NOTE: There are some places in the solo that I marked as pinch harmonics(P.H.).
      I don't think what's played is actually a pinch harmonic, but I don't 
      know what else to call it. It's the sound that's made when you hammer 
      onto an open string, whatever that's called technically. As usual, 
      you're on your own with the timing.
