WELL, ^BmI WON'T MAKE YOU ^DTELL ME, WHAT I'VE ^GCOME TO ^BmUNDERSTAND, Em G D A ^GYOUR A CERTAIN KIND OF WOMAN, I'M A DIFFERENT KIND OF MAN, I'VE ^BmTRIED TO MAKE YOU ^DLOVE ME, YOU'VE ^GTRIED TO FIND A ^BmSPARK, Em G D OF A ^GFLAME THAT BURNED, BUT SOMEHOW TURNED, TO SMOKE RING IN THE DARK,

INTRO ONCE VERSE II

THE ^BmLONELINESS WIT^DHIN ME, ^GTAKES A HEAVY ^BmTOLL, Em G D CAUS^GE IT BURNS AS SLOW AS WHISKEY, THROUGH AN EMPTY ACHIN SOLE, AND THE ^BmNIGHT IS LIKE A ^DDAGER, ^GLONG AND COLD AND ^BmSHARP, Em G D AS I ^GSIT HERE ON THE FRONT STEPS, BLOWIN SMOKE RINGS IN THE DARK,

THE ^BmRAIN FALLS WHERE IT ^DWANTS TO, THE ^GWIND BLOW WHERE IT ^BmWILL, Em G D A EVE^GRYTHING ON EARTH GOES SOMEWHERE, BUT I SWEAR STANDING STILL, SO ^BmI'M NOT GONNA ^DWAKE YOU, I'LL GO ^GEASY ON YOUR ^BmHEART, Em G D I'LL ^GJUST TOUCH YOUR FACE, AND DRIFT AWAY, LIKE SMOKE RINGS IN THE DARK,

CHORUS PLAY INTRO AGAIN OR FINISH ON A GOOD CHORD THATS IT, I MAY HAVE MIXED A LITTLE OF THE STEAL GUITAR IN WITH IT BUT THATS IT IN A NUT IF TABBED PARTS DONT SOUND RIGHT THEN JUST MOVE UP OR DOWN A HALF STEP. I WAS TUNED TO E FLAT TUNING AND I HAD TO USE A CAPO ON FIRST FRET WHEN I WAS TABBING BUT I TRIED TO IT IN STANDARD FORM.
