     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
