INTRO:  G - Am - Bm - Am

G                         Am               G - Am
You left me here on your way to paradise
G                         Am                     G - Am
You pulled the rug right out from under my life
G                         Am                                   G - Am
I know where you goin' to I knew when you came home last night
         C		       E7	           A7            D9       D   D9 
'Cause your eyes had a mist from the smoke of a distant fire

G - Am - Bm - Am

G                         Am                             G - Am
Lord, I was stung shoulda seen it come a long time ago
G                         Am                             G - Am
When I realized the reality gave me a roll
G                         Am                             G - Am
If things are the same then explain why your kiss is so cold
         C		       E7	           A7            D9       D   D9 
And that mist in your eyes feels like rain on the fire in my soul

BRIDGE

Abm			 Abm				             Eb	
This lying, and cryin's upsettin' and getting no where
Abm			   Abm				                Eb
It don't stack up, so slack up and pack up, I just don't care
Cm7						Abm
Don't let the screen door hit you, on your way out
Cm7			Abm					Bb			C 
Don't you drown when your dream boat runs onto the ground

G - Am - Bm - Am

G                         Am                             G - Am

G                         Am                             G - Am
By filling his glass with your fast flowing bitter-sweet lies
G                         Am                             G - Am
He'll face the after taste when you come home late some night
         C		       E7	           A7            D9       D   D9 
With your eyes all a mist from the smoke of a distant fire
