D5 B5 D5 B5 
 
     D5              
Well I won?t make you tell me 
          B5 
What I?ve come to understand 
         E5 
You?re a certain kind of woman 
      G5 
I?m a different kind of man 
     D5 
I?ve tried to make you love me 
       B5 
You?ve tried to find a spark 
       E5                    G5 
Of the flame that burned but somehow turned to 
D5           A5      G5 
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 
 

B5 G5 D5               A5 
I     know I must be going 
       B5 G5           D5 A5 
?Cause love?s already gone 
    E5             B5              F#5          G5 
And all I?m taking with me are the pieces of my heart 
    C5                  G5                  D5 
And all I?ll leave are smoke rings in the dark 
 

D5 B5 E5 G5 
 
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
