Smokey forever, Smokey forever, Smokey forever, it's medley time.
[E] [A] I don't know why she's leaving, don't know where she's gonna go.
[D] I guess she's got her reasons, 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 can of juice and [D] I'm living next door [A] to Alice.
[E] [A] We grew up together, two kids in the park.
[D] We carved our initials deep in the bark.
[E]
[A] Me and Alice.
[E] [A] As he walks through the door,
[D] I smell her mold, I call her out.
[E] I'm addicted to being old, slow.
[A] Alice is right.
[E] Oh, [A] I don't know why she's leaving, don't know where she's gonna go.
[D] I guess she's got her reasons, 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 can of juice and [D] I'm living next door [A] to Alice.
[E] [D] Getting back [Bm] in the arms of someone.
[G] If you [D] want my signature, [G] just know [D] that your heart's clear.
[G] You can [D] get whatever you [A] ever need.
You
[G] think [D] that's too high for you, [G] but baby, [D] I'll die.
[G] There's [D] nothing left, you know [A] where I'll be.
[D] Getting back [Bm] in the arms of someone.
[D] You give in to [Em] the charm of someone.
[G] You give back [A] in the arms of someone [D] you love.
[A]
[D] Getting back [Bm] in the arms of someone.
[D] When you're feeling [Em] in love with someone.
[G] You give back [A] in the arms of someone [D] you love.
[A] Smoking forever, [D] smoking forever, [E] smoking forever.
[C] [Bb] Oh, love is taking [Gm] me, sometimes mistaking [Bb] me.
Stop making [F] me hide.
[Bb] Love is cold, [Gm] I'm living, gotta hold on.
[Bb] I'm with the ball in my heart, and [F] I try.
[Bb] Oh, but sometimes they're making [F] me blue.
[Bb] Somehow I can't talk [F] it over with you.
Sometimes they're making [F] me sad.
[Bb] Something I'm missing [F] that I've never had.
[Gm] And I know, speaking [Bb] to you, [C] you lose [F] the view.
[Gm] What is this feeling that keeps you revealing [F] your pride?
[Gm] Why don't you listen?
You can't reminisce on [Bb] the times that you loved you [C] a lot.
Oh, yes, [Bm] if you think you know how [A] to love me.
[Bm] Oh, yes, we may walk on the wild, wild side [A] of life.
[Bm] And our movements raced by a stranger, broke [A] by your side.
[D] In the shadows of a promise, [A] you can take my hand.
Show me a way [E] to understand.
So [Bm] if you think you know [A] how to love me,
and [Bm] you think you know [A] what I need,
then [Bm] if you really, really [A] want me to stay,
[E] you've got to leave the way.
Yes, [Bm] if you think you know how [A] to love me,
and [Bm] you think you can stand [A] by me,
[Bm] then if you really, really [A] want me to stay,
[E] you've got to leave [A] the way.
[Ab] Our love is [A] alive, [Eb]
so it [G] begins.
[Em]
[A] She's laying on [D] the table, [Gm] stumbling in, [Em]
[A] [Eb]
running within.
[C]
I [A] was in it while I [Eb] was looking at you, stumbling [G] in.
[Em]
Wherever [A] you [Gm] go, whatever you do, [Em] you know me.
[A] I'll [Eb] smile and [G] [Em]
I'll do [A] it for you, [Eb] whatever you [G] do.
[Em] Because baby, [A] you've shown me so [Eb] many things that I [G] never knew.
[E]
Whatever [A] it takes, [D] baby, I'll do it [G] for you.
Our love [A] is alive, [Eb]
so [G] it begins.
[Em]
[A] She's laying on the [Eb] table, stumbling [G] in.
[E] Our love [A] is flesh, [Eb]
burning [G] within.
[Em]
[A] I was in it while I [Eb] was looking at you, stumbling [G] in.
[A]
Smoky forever, smoky forever, smoky forever.
It's manly time.
Smoky forever, smoky forever, smoky forever.
It's manly time.
