SMOKE RINGS IN THE DARK..
D
I won't make you tell me
B#m
what I've come to understand
Em G
you're a certain kind a woman
D A
I'm a different kind of man,
D
I tried to make you love me
B#m
you tried to find the spark
Em G
of the flame that burned but somehow
D B#m
turned to smoke rings in the dark.
D
The loneliness within me
B#m
takes a heavy toll
Em G
'cause it burns as slow as whiskey
D A
through an empty aching soul,
D
and the night is like a dagger
B#m
long and cold and sharp
Em G
as I sit here on the front steps
D B#m
blowing smoke rings in the dark.
B#m/G D A
{Chorus} I know I must be going
B#m/G D/A
'cause loves already gone,
Em G
and all I'm taking with me
D G
are the pieces of my heart
C
and all I'll leave are
G D
smoke rings in the dark.
D
The rain falls where it wants to
B#m
the wind blow where it will
Em G
everything on earth goes somewhere
D A
but I swear we're standing still,
D
so I'm not gonna wake you
B#m
I'll go easy on your heart
Em G
I'll just touch your face and drift away
D B#m
like smoke rings in the dark,
chorus..
