Bottle of Smoke

Regardless of the fact that Bottle of Smoke is the name of a race horse this one is not, I repeat not, about a horse. I was sitting at a cafe filling up an empty bottle with the smoke from a box of matches.

Could you flash me a smile
(Em)(G)
You've been lookin' on and off
(Am)(G)
For quite a long while
(Em)(G)
You've got this look of a ragin' sea
(Em)(G)
I see the waves on the inside
(Am)(G)
when you're lookin' at me

{chorus}
(G)(D)
But, I'm gonna finish my Merlot
(G)(D)
I'm gonna get up and go
(Am)(D)
then we're gonna walk away
(Em)(D)
in our separate ways

I really do have some things to do
and I've procrastinated
giving this chance to you
I've filled my own bottle of smoke
just waiting for you
I guess it's all a joke

{repeat chorus}

I'm dreamin' of faraway places
my wanderlust desire
for unfamiliar faces
But, I'll be back tomorrow
since now it's gettin' rather late
and I have got to go

{repeat chorus}
