Steve Earle - Lonelier Than This
Capo 4
Em G/F# G 2X
Em G/F# G
It doesn't get any lonelier than this
C
I believe my heart'll break
G D
Tonight I prayed I'd die before I wake
Em G/F# G
With every breath I'm tastin' your kiss
C
And it's sweet upon my tongue
G G/F# Em
Until the bitter tears fall one by one
Em G/F# G
Well, it doesn't get any lonelier than this
C
'Cause I'm on this road alone
G D
My heartbeat ringin' like a hollow drum
Em G/F# G
I'm about as lonesome as a poor boy gets
C
And there's nothin' I can do
G G/F# Em
'Cause it's dark out here and I can't find you
Em G/F# G
It doesn't get any lonelier than this
Em G/F# G
It doesn't get any lonelier than this
C
I'm as blue as blue can be
G D
Just an empty place where your love should be
Em G/F# G
I'm sick and tired of walkin' around like this
C
With my heart outside my skin
G G/F# Em
Scared to death we'll never touch again
Em G/F# G
It doesn't get any lonelier than this
C
And there's no place I can go
G D
Just the dusty corners that the shadows know
Em G/F# G
Maybe this is as good as it's gonna get
C
And I'll always be this way
G G/F# Em
I'll just wander this world callin' out your name
Em G/F# G
But it doesn't get any lonelier than this
