[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,

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 FACE, 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,

and all i'll leave are smoke rings in the dark,
