[Verse 1]
(Acoustic guitar)
      Bm               D                  G       Bm
well, i won't make you tell me, what i've come to understand,
       Em              G            D         A
G
your a certain kind of woman, i'm a different kind of man,
     Bm                D               G               Bm
I'VE TRIED TO MAKE YOU LOVE ME, YOU'VE TRIED TO FIND A SPARK,
     Em                     G                  D
     G
of a flame that burned, but somehow turned, to smoke ring in the dark,

[Verse 2]
    Bm            D       G             Bm
the loneliness within me, takes a heavy toll,
         Em               G                   D
    G
cause it burns as slow as whiskey, through an empty achin sole,
        Bm              D      G                 Bm
and the night is like a dager, long and cold and sharp,
     Em              G                   D
     G
as i sit here on the front steps, blowin 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            G                D      A     G
and all im taking with me, are the pieces of my heart,
    Em                 G                  D
and all i'll leave are smoke rings in the dark,

[Verse 3]
    Bm                  D             G                  Bm
the rain falls where it wants to, the wind blow where it will,
     Em                  G                D     A
   G
everything on earth goes somewhere, but i swear standing still,
   Bm            D                 G            Bm
so i'm not gonna wake you, i'll go easy on your heart,
          Em                   G                D
     G
I'LL JUST TOUCH YOUR FCE , AND DRIFT AWAY, LIKE 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            G                D      A     G
and all im taking with me, are the pieces of my heart,
    Em                 G                  D
and all i'll leave are smoke rings in the dark,
