VERSE I

      Bm               D                  G       Bm
WELL, I WON'T MAKE YOU TELL ME, WHAT I'VE COME TO UNDERSTAND,
       Em              G            D         A
G
YOUR A CERTAIN KIND OF WOMAN, I'M A DIFFERENT KIND OF MAN,
     Bm                D               G               Bm
I'VE TRIED TO MAKE YOU LOVE ME, YOU'VE TRIED TO FIND A SPARK,
     Em                     G                  D
     G
OF A FLAME THAT BURNED, BUT SOMEHOW TURNED, TO SMOKE RING IN THE DARK,

INTRO ONCE

VERSE II
    Bm            D       G             Bm
THE LONELINESS WITHIN ME, TAKES A HEAVY TOLL,
         Em               G                   D
    G
CAUSE IT BURNS AS SLOW AS WHISKEY, THROUGH AN EMPTY ACHIN SOLE,
        Bm              D      G                 Bm
AND THE NIGHT IS LIKE A DAGER, LONG AND COLD AND SHARP,
     Em              G                   D
     G
AS I SIT HERE ON THE FRONT STEPS, BLOWIN SMOKE RINGS IN THE DARK,

CHORUS
Bm     G       D              A
I..............KNOW I MUST BE GOING,
      Bm             G         D        A
CAUSE LOVE...........S ALREADY GONE........,
    Em            G                D      A     G
AND ALL IM TAKING WITH ME, ARE THE PIECES OF MY HEART,
    Em                 G                  D
AND ALL I'LL LEAVE ARE SMOKE RINGS IN THE DARK,

ELECTRIC GUITAR

ACOUSTIC
VERSE III
    Bm                  D             G                  Bm
THE RAIN FALLS WHERE IT WANTS TO, THE WIND BLOW WHERE IT WILL,
     Em                  G                D     A
   G
EVERYTHING ON EARTH GOES SOMEWHERE, BUT I SWEAR STANDING STILL,
   Bm            D                 G            Bm
SO I'M NOT GONNA WAKE YOU, I'LL GO EASY ON YOUR HEART,
          Em                   G                D
     G
I'LL JUST TOUCH YOUR FACE, AND DRIFT AWAY, LIKE SMOKE RINGS IN THE DARK,

CHORUS

PLAY INTRO AGAIN OR FINISH ON A GOOD CHORD


THATS IT, I MAY HAVE MIXED A LITTLE OF THE STEAL GUITAR IN WITH IT BUT THATS IT IN A NUT
IF TABBED PARTS DONT SOUND RIGHT THEN JUST MOVE UP OR DOWN A HALF STEP. I WAS TUNED
TO E FLAT TUNING AND I HAD TO USE A CAPO ON FIRST FRET WHEN I WAS TABBING BUT I TRIED TO 
IT IN STANDARD FORM.
