The only thing im not sure about is the Em but other than that it sounds good to me
Capo 2
GLet's watch the tide chase the waves onto Dthe sand
AmI wonder if a broken heart feel the warmth Con my hand
GAnd I wonder what a piece of driftwood has seen all through Dhis lifetime
AmLet's walk away the past through the smokey black Emnights
AmI've seen a million things
Dspoke a million words
Emnow i only Cwant to speak Dto you
AmWaiting for the words
Dcounting every bird
Emthere's nothing Ci'd rather Ddo
pause               G  
on the smokey black nights
G
GStill throught the haze I can make out Dconstellations
AmI'll make one of you and me as we sit in the Csand
GAnd I saw that sunset gleamin as my eyes went Dwild
AmLet's walk away the past through the smokey black Emnights
AmI've played a thousand songs
Dsang a thousand words
Emnow i only Cwant to sing Dto you
AmWaited on a wire
Dstarin at the fire
Emthere's nothing Ci'd rather Ddo
on the smokey black Gnights
AmI've walked a thousand miles
Dsmiled a thousand smiles
EmNow I only Csmile when I'm with Dyou
AmWaiting for the words
Dcounting every bird
Emthere's nothing Ci'd rather Ddo
on the smokey black Gnights
GSo walk with me
As the sweet wind Ddances
AmI'll write a song for you and me
On the smokey black Gnights
