Intro: (C) (C) (C) (C)
C
You ran crying to the bedroom
F
I ran off to the bar,
G C
Another piece of heaven gone to hell,
F
The words we spoke in anger just tore my world apart,
G C
And I sat there feeling sorry for my self.
C
Then that old man sat down beside me
F
And looked me in the eye,
G C
And said "Son, I know what you're going through,
You ought to get down on your knees
F G C
And thank your lucky stars that you got someone to go home to."
C F
You don't know about lonely,
C
Or how long nights can be,
G
Till you lived through the story
C
That's still living in me,
C F
And you don't know about sadness
C
'Til you faced life alone,
G
You don't know about lonely
C
'Til it's chiseled in stone.
C
So I brought these pretty flowers
F
Hoping you would understand
G C
Sometimes a man is such a fool,
Those golden words of wisdom
F
From the heart of that old man,
G C
Showed me I ain't nothing without you.
C F
You don't know about lonely
C
Or how long nights can be
G
'Till you lived through the story

You don't know about sadness

'Till you faced life alone
G
You don't know about lonely
C
'Till it's chiseled in stone
