When the Smoke Clears Lyrics & Tabs by Due West
When the Smoke Clears
guitar chords lyrics
He bought me a drink
Then offered a light
He said "Friend where's the ring
You had on last night?"
And he said "Man to man I understand
That wedding bands get heavy sometimes
But don't cross that line!"
[Chorus:]
Cause when the smoke clears
The heat of the moment has disappeared
And you're alone!
You spend one night and live in that shadow for years
Regret's all that's here when the smoke clears!
He said "I've been there!
Sittin' right where you are
Regret's all that's here when the smoke clears!
He said "I've been there!
Sittin' right where you are
And that's why I'm here
Every day at this bar!
Her name was Emily, she worshiped me
Our son was three, now he's twenty-five
He don't know I'm alive!
[Chorus:]
When the smoke clears
The heat of the moment has disappeared
And you're alone!
You spend one night and live in that shadow for years
Regret's all that's here when the smoke clears!
You spend one night and live in that shadow for years
Regret's all that's here when the smoke clears!
