D Bm D Bm 
 
     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
