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
