Album: Smoke Rings In The Dark
Written by:
SMOKE RINGS IN THE DARK Gary Allan
Bm D Bm
I wanna make you tell me what I've come to understand
Em G Em Bm
You're a certain kind of woman I'm a different kind of man
Bm D Bm
I've tried to make you love me You've tried to find a spark
Em G D A Bm D
Of a flame that burned somehow turned to the smoke rings in the dark
Bm D Bm
The loneliness within me takes a heavy toll
Em G Em Bm
Cause it burns as slow as whiskey through an empty aching soul
Bm D Bm
And the night is like a dagger long and cold and sharp
Em G Em Bm
As I sit here on the front steps blowing smoke rings in the dark
D G D A G D A
I-I-I I know I must be going cause love-ove-ove's already gone-one
Em G Bm Em
All I'm taking with me are the pieces of my heart
Em Bm D
And all I'll leave are smoke rings in the dark
Bm D Bm
The rain falls where it wants to The wind blows where it will
Em G Em Bm
Every-thing on earth goes somewhere but I swear I'm standing still
Bm D Bm
So I'm not gonna wake you I'll go easy on your heart
Em G Em Bm
I'll just touch your face and drift away like smoke rings in the dark
D G D A G D A
I-I-I I know I must be going cause love-ove-ove's already gone-one
Em G Bm Em
All I'm taking with me are the pieces of my heart
Em Bm D
And all I'll leave are smoke rings in the dark
