Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 The cigarette of a single man

Burns in the ashtray by his bed

 He pulls the ring of another can

 and holds it up beside his head

 The book he reads is on the floor

 he's read it several times before

Refrain

 Whats you got to go home to?

 Whats you got to go home to?

 The cigarette of a single man

Sits on the ashtray on the bar

 He sits and sifts through several plans

 But knows alone he won't go far

 He needs the love another has

 To help him if another can.

Refrain

Bridge

 The cigarette of a single man

Lays in the gutter by his side

Now he's one of those little lambs

 Who strayed too far from the flock to find

 He's better off without the grief

 That people wear between their teeth

 And in his mouth as he's asleep

 The cigarette of a single man

In his mouth between his teeth

  / / hold

The cigarette of a single man

Whats you got to go home to?

Whats you got to go home to?

REPEAT TO FADE:

Whats you got to go home to?

Whats you got to go home to?
