In deep despair on lonely nights

He knows just how you feel

The slyest rhymes, the sharpest suits

In miracles made real

You know you're right just to hold her tight

He soothes it right, makes it out of sight

When Smokey sings, I hear violins
E D A E D A
When Smokey sings, I forget everything

As she's packing her things

The front door might slam

But the back door it rings
E D A E D A
And Smokey sings, he sings

Elegance in eloquence
Dsus2 E
For sale or rent or hire
E D
Should I say yes and match his best
D#sus2 E
Then I would be a liar
E D
Symphonies that soothe the rage
Dsus2 E
When lovers' hearts catch fire
C#m D
Like a bird in flight on a hot sweet night
C#m D A D E
You know you're right just to hold her tight
