Intro: (C majorC) (C majorC) (C majorC) (C majorC)
C majorC
You ran crying to the bedroom
FF
I ran off to the bar,
G+G C majorC
Another piece of heaven gone to hell,
FF
The words we spoke in anger just tore my world apart,
G+G C majorC
And I sat there feeling sorry for my self.
C majorC
Then that old man sat down beside me
FF
And looked me in the eye,
G+G C majorC
And said "Son, I know what you're going through,
You ought to get down on your knees
FF G+G C majorC
And thank your lucky stars that you got someone to go home to."
C majorC FF
You don't know about lonely,
C majorC
Or how long nights can be,
G+G
Till you lived through the story
C majorC
That's still living in me,
C majorC FF
And you don't know about sadness
C majorC
'Til you faced life alone,
G+G
You don't know about lonely
C majorC
'Til it's chiseled in stone.
C majorC
So I brought these pretty flowers
FF
Hoping you would understand
G+G C majorC
Sometimes a man is such a fool,
Those golden words of wisdom
FF
From the heart of that old man,
G+G C majorC
Showed me I ain't nothing without you.
C majorC FF
You don't know about lonely
C majorC
Or how long nights can be
G+G
'Till you lived through the story
C majorC
That old man just told me
C majorC FF
You don't know about sadness
C majorC
'Till you faced life alone
G+G
You don't know about lonely
C majorC
'Till it's chiseled in stone
G+G
You don't know about lonely
C majorC G+G C majorC
(No Chord) 'Til it's chiseled in stone.
