D Bm D Bm
D
Well I won’t make you tell me
Bm
What I’ve come to understand
Em
You’re a certain kind of woman
G
I’m a different kind of man
D
I’ve tried to make you love me
Bm
You’ve tried to find a spark
Em G
Of the flame that burned but somehow turned to
D A G
Smoke rings in the dark
The loneliness within me
Takes a heavy toll
‘Cause it burns as slow as whiskey
Through an empty aching soul
And the night is like a dagger
Long and cold and sharp
As I sit here on the front steps
Blowin’ smoke rings in the dark
Bm G D A
I know I must be going
Bm G D A
‘Cause love’s already gone
Em Bm F#m G
And all I’m taking with me are the pieces of my heart
C G D
And all I’ll leave are smoke rings in the dark
D Bm Em G
The rain falls where it wants to
The wind blows where it will
Everything on earth goes somewhere
But I swear we’re standin’ still
So I’m not gonna wake you
I’ll go easy on your heart
I’ll just touch your face and drift away
Like smoke rings in the dark / REPEAT CHORUS
