[Verse 1]
I remember Oklahoma, that Chesterfield sofa
Backseat of your Nova, like it was yesterday
Butterflies on a blue dress, cigarettes on a swing set
Starting fires in my head with the same old flame
[Pre-Chorus]
Oo-oo-ooh
I light one up, I burn one down
Oo-oo-ooh
I breathe you in, I breathe you out
[Chorus]
Good God, it's bittersweet
It's like cinnamon and nicotine
And I don't care if it's killing me
Can't stop chainsmokin' memories
[Verse 2]
A pocketful of matches, the smell of you on my jacket

[Pre-Chorus]
Oo-oo-ooh

Oo-oo-ooh
I breathe you in, I breathe you out
[Chorus]
Good God, it's bittersweet

(Chainsmokin')
Mm, mm-mm
Mm-mm, mm-mm
Mm, mm-mm
[Chorus]
Good God, it's bittersweet
It's like cinnamon and nicotine
And I don't care if it's killing me
Can't stop chainsmokin' memories
