VerseD
You ran cryin' to the bedroom
G
I ran off to the bar,
A7D
Another piece of heaven gone to hell,
D
the words we spoke in anger
G
just tore my world apart,
A7D
And I sat there feeling sorry for myself.
D
Then that old man sat down beside me
G
and looked me in the eye,
A7D
and said "Son, I know what you're going through,
D
You ought to get down on your knees
GA7D
and thank your lucky stars, that you got someone to go home to."
ChorusDD7G
You don't know about lonely,
D
Or how long nights can be,
DA7
Till you lived through the story
D
That's still livin' in me,
D7G
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.
VerseD
So I brought these pretty flowers
G
hoping you would understand
A7D
sometimes a man is such a fool,
D
Those golden words of wisdom
G
from the heart of that old man,
A7D
showed me I ain't nothing without you.
ChorusDD7G
You don't know about lonely,
D
Or how long nights can be,
DA7
Till you lived through the story
D
that old man just told me,
D7G
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.
