D



🎸 Verse :
     D                 Em               G             D
Last night he had him in his hands and kept him live until
D                      Em              G          A
he left him there with nothing but the bottle and the bill
G                       D           F#7        G
And though it was the happy hour it wasn't any fun
           D          A          G         D
'cause the party again was just a party of one

🎸 Verse 2:
D                    Em           G                D
The neon lights were dying as he tried to find his feet
D                    Em            G                  A
he heared a news boy cryin' as he stepped out on the street
G            D            F#7              G
Extra
Extra Mister! Read about the latest war
      D                 A             G             D
about who needs burnin' bridges at a quarter after four

🎸 Chorus:
      D               A           G            D
So he swore into the mirror as he killed a cigarette
         D        A          G         D
I'm the loneliest man I ever met

🎸 Verse 3:
D                       Em        G            D
He watched a wired and weary face reflected on the glass
D                  Em             G                      A
he dropped another quarter down and watched the pin ball flash
     G            D               F#7              G
and far away the jukebox played a mournful country song
     D                A                G              D
And Nebraska passed before his eyes and melted in the dawn

🎸 Chorus:
      D                A           G           D
And he swore into the mirror as he killed a cigarette
        D        A
I'm the loneliest man
        G         D
I'm the loneliest man
        D          A         G        D
I'm the loneliest man I ever met
