CHISELED IN STONE

CAPO 1


D
You ran cryin' to the bedroom

                 G
I ran off to the bar,

A7                              D
Another piece of heaven gone to hell,

D
the words we spoke in anger

                   G
just tore my world apart,

      A7                            D
And I sat there feeling sorry for myself.

D
Then that old man sat down beside me

                     G
and looked me in the eye,

          A7                            D
and said "Son, I know what you're going through,

D
You ought to get down on your knees

                     G               A7                     D
and thank your lucky stars, that you got someone to go home to."


(Chorus)

D         D7         G
You don't know about lonely,

            D
Or how long nights can be,

D                          A7
Till you lived through the story

                       D
That's still livin' in me,

              D7         G
And you don't know about sadness

                    D
'til you faced life alone,

                     A7
You don't know about lonely

                      D
'til it's chiseled in stone.


D
So I brought these pretty flowers

                      G
hoping you would understand

    A7                    D
sometimes a man is such a fool,

D
Those golden words of wisdom

                           D
from the heart of that old man,

A7                                D
showed me I ain't nothing without you.


D         D7         G
You don't know about lonely,

            D
Or how long nights can be,

D                          A7
Till you lived through the story

                       D
that old man just told me,

              D7         G
And you don't know about sadness

                    D
'til you faced life alone,

                     A7
You don't know about lonely

                      D
'til it's chiseled in stone.

                     A7
You don't know about lonely,

                      D
'til it's chiseled in stone.
