Smoky forever, smoky forever, smoky forever
It's manly time
I don't know what you're feeling, I don't know what you need
[A] I don't know what you're feeling, I don't know where she's gonna go
[D] I guess you've got a reason, but I just don't wanna know
Cause [E] for 24 years I've been living next door [A] to Alice
[E]
[A] 24 years, just waiting for a chance
[D] To tell her how I'm feeling, maybe get a second guess
[E] Now I've got a kick, used to [D] not living next door [A] to Alice
We [E]
[A] walk together, two kids in the park
[D] Carbide results, deep in the bar, [E]
[A] me and Alice
[Em]
[A] Cassie walks through the door, with her head held high
[D] Smoky moon, I caught her [E] eye
The big benzine, oh smoke, [E] [A] Alice cried
[E] Oh, [A] I don't know what you're feeling, I don't know where she's gonna go
[D] I guess you've got a reason, but I just don't wanna know
[E] Cause for 24 years I've been living next door [A] to Alice
[E]
[A] 24 years, just waiting for a chance
[D] To tell her how I'm feeling, maybe get a second guess
[E] Now I've got a kick, used to [D] not living next door [A] to Alice
[E]
[D] They bang, [Bm] and they arm someone
[G]
If you [D] want my city, [G]
just open [D] your heart
[G]
You'll get [D] whatever you [A] ever need
[G]
You think [D] that's too high for you, [G] it would be
[D] Outside, [G]
but there's [D] nothing left, you know where [A] I'll be
[D]
They bang, [Bm] and they arm someone
[D] When you give into [Em] the charm of someone
[G] They bang, [A] and they arm someone [D] you love
[A] [D]
They bang, [Bm] and they arm someone
[D] When you're leaving [Em] your heart of someone
[G]
They bang, [A] and they arm someone [D] you love
[A] Oh, smoky forever, [D] smoky forever, [E] smoky forever
[C] [Bb] Oh, love is shaking [Gm] me, sometimes mistaken [Bb] me
Stopped me, making [F] me hide
[Bb] Love's so [Gm] lumpy, then got a hold on me
Fallen my heart to [F] my pride
[Bb] Oh, but something's been making [F] me blue
[Bb] Somehow I can't talk [F] it over with you
[Bb] Something's been making [F] me sad
[Bb] Something I'm missing [F] that I never had
[Gm] And I'm not digging [Bb] the glue that [C] clues [F] the view
[Gm] What if this feeling keeps you revealing [F] your pride
[Gm] If you listen you can't reminisce
All [Bb] the times that you loved you [C] were lies
I guess [Bm] you can think you know how [A] to love me
Oh [Bm] yes, we may walk on the wild, wild side [A] of life
[Bm] And our movements trace right stream and float by [A] your side
[D]
In shadows of a promise, you [A] can take my hand
Show me a way [E] to understand
So [Bm] if you think you know how [A] to love me
And [Bm] you think you know what [A] I need
And [Bm] if you really, really [A] want me to stay
[E] You've got to leave the way
Yes, [Bm] I can think you know how [A] to love me
And [Bm] you think you can stand by me
And if you really, really [A] want me to stay
[E] You've got to leave [A] the way
[B] Our love is [A] a lie, [D] so if [G] you get it
[Em] [A] Me laying on [D] a table, stumbling [Gm] it, [C] [A]
[Eb] burning [G] within
[Em] [A] Counting the fireflies [Eb] for cactus, stumbling [G] it
[Em] [G]
[Eb] [G]
[E] You know me, [A]
[Eb] [G]
[C] [A]
[Eb] whatever [G] you
[Em] say
[A] You've shown me so [D] many things that I [G] never knew
[E] Whatever [A] it takes, [D] baby I'll be with [G] you
Our love [A] is a lie, [Eb] so if [G] you get it
[Em] [A] Me laying on a [Eb] table, stumbling [Gm] it, [E] [A] burning [Eb] [G] within
[Em] [A] Counting the [Eb] fireflies for cactus, stumbling [G] it
[A]
Smokey forever, smokey forever, smokey forever
Smelly time
Smokey forever, smokey forever, smokey forever
It's smelly time
