Subject: Smoke Rings in the Dark - Gary Allan
INTRO: D Bm [2]
D
No, 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 tried to make you love me
Bm
You tried to find the spark
Em
To a flame that burned
G
But somehow turned
D A G
To smoke rings in the dark
D
The loneliness within me
Bm
Takes a heavy toll
Em
Cause it burns as slow as whiskey
G
Through an empty aching soul
D
And the night is like a dagger
Bm
Long and cold and sharp
Em G
As I sit here on the front steps
D A G
Blowing 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 Bm
And all I'm takin with me
F#m G
Are the pieces of my heart
C
And all I'll leave are
G D
Smoke rings in the dark
D
The rain falls where it wants to
Bm
The wind blows where it will
Em
Everything on earth goes someplace
G
But I swear I'm standin still
D
So I'm not gonna wake you
Bm
I'll go easy on your heart
Em
I'll just touch your face
G
And drift away
D A G
Like smoke rings in the dark
CHORUS
