Lonlier Than This

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
