It's getting harder to breathe
Chainsmoking your love
Can't be good for my sanity
Can't be good for my lungs
Chainsmoking your love
Chainsmoking your love

I know my lease is up
and the bailiff's at the door
And still I'm hanging on to the life we had before
I know this cold love won't lead me to the Lord
Although I'm black and blue, I'm begging you for more

It's getting harder to breathe
Chainsmoking your love
Can't be good for my sanity
Can't be good for my lungs
Chainsmoking your love
Chainsmoking your love
Chainsmoking your love
Chainsmoking your love

We watched the water rise
unhindered by the shore
Take me on top of the world and leave me on the floor
You say we're meant to be
But I'm seeing your honesty
I'll be a casualty when morning comes, oh

It's getting harder to breathe
Chainsmoking your love
Can't be good for my sanity
Can't be good for my lungs
It's getting harder to breathe
Chainsmoking your love
Can't be good for my sanity
Can't be good for my lungs
Chainsmoking your love
Chainsmoking your love
Chainsmoking your love
Chainsmoking your love, oh
