Ladies and gentlemen, especially for this night, would you please meet Smokey!
Smokey forever, Smokey forever, Smokey forever.
It's manly time.
[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.
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
how [E] I got it in Houston, [D] I'm living next door [A] to Alice.
[E]
[A] We grew up together, some kids in the park,
[D] carved our initials deep in the bark, [E]
[A] being in Alice.
As [E]
[A] she walks through the door, with her hand held high,
[D] shimmer of a moon, I caught her eye.
[E] The big limousine full of smoke, [A] out of Alice's dry.
[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] how I got it in Houston, [D] I'm living next door [A] to Alice.
[E]
[D] Stay back [Bm] in the arms of someone.
[G]
If you [D] want my sympathy, [G]
just open [D] your heart to me.
[G]
You'll get [D] whatever you [A] ever need.
You [G]
think [D] that's too high for you, [G] or would be, [D] I would die.
[G]
If there's [D] nothing left, then go where [A] I'll be.
You stay back [Bm] in the arms of someone.
[D]
When you give in to [Em] the charm of someone.
[G]
When you give in, [A] give in the arms of someone [D] you love.
[A] [D]
You stay back [Bm] in the arms of [D] someone.
When you feel [Em] apart of someone, [G]
you stay back [A] in the arms of someone [D] you love.
[A] Smokey forever, [D]
smokey forever, [E] smokey forever.
[C] [Bb] Oh, love is shaking [Gm] me, sometimes mistaking [Bb] me.
This time it's making [F] me hide.
[Bb] Your soul [Gm] I'm living, got to hold on [Bb] to.
Fall in my heart, and [F] not cry.
[Bb] Oh, but sometimes they're making [F] me blue.
[Bb] Somehow I can't talk [F] it over with you.
[Bb] Sometimes they're making [F] me sad.
[Bb] Something I'm missing [F] that I never had.
[Gm] And I know, shaking [Bb] me blue, is [F] losing you.
[Gm] What is this feeling that keeps you revealing [F] your pride?
[Gm] Why don't you listen?
You can't reminisce.
All [Bb] the times that you loved, you [C]
lied.
I guess [B] I can 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 tricked by a stranger,
and I'm right here, right by [A] your side.
[D]
In the shadows of a promise, [A] you can take my hand,
and 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,
[Bm] then if you really, really [A] want me to stay,
[E]
you've got to lead the way.
Yes, [Bm] if you think you know how [A] to love me,
and [Bm] you think you can stand [A] by me,
then [Bm] if you really, really [A] want me to stay,
[E]
you've got to lead [A] the way.
Our love is [Eb] so insignificant.
[Em] [Bb] In a land of [Eb] high tables, jumbled in it.
[E] Our love [A] is a flame, [Eb] burning within it.
[C] Now [A] within this fire, I [Eb] look at you, stumbling [G] in.
[Em] Wherever [G] you [Eb]
[Em] go, you know [A] these reckless thoughts [Eb] of mine follow [G]
you.
[Em] I'm falling [A] for you, [Eb] whatever you do.
[G] [Em] Cause baby, [A]
you're one man, so [Eb] many things that I never do.
[E] Whatever [A] it takes, [D] baby, I'll be with [G] you.
Our love [A] is alive, [Eb] so it begins.
[Em] [A] In a land of high [Eb] tables, jumbled in it.
[E] Our love [A] is a flame, [Eb] burning within [G] it.
[C] Now within [A] this fire, I [Eb] look at you, stumbling [G] in.
[A]
Smokey forever, smokey forever, smokey forever.
Manly time.
Smokey forever, smokey forever, smokey forever.
It's manly time.
