As Lonesome As It Gets
View chords used in this chart
Dm Bb C Dm
Dm I've been sittin' here alone in the C darkness
Dm With the sound of goodbye ringin' in my C head
Dm I don't know how much longer I can C go on like Dm this
Bb I'm about as C lonesome as it Dm gets
Bb Just about as C lonesome as it Dm gets
Dm For a long time now we've been C drifting apart
Dm I should have been glad to see you C go
Dm But now that it's over and you're C on a silver Dm jet
Bb I'm about as C lonesome as it Dm gets
Bb Just about as C lonesome as it Dm gets
[Refrão]Bb If it rained straight whiskey, Dm forty days and nights
C It wouldn't be enough to numb this hurt I Dm feel
Bb Or keep this lump that's in my throat, from Dm chokin' me to death
F I'm about as lonesome as it A gets
{N/C} Just about as lonesome as it Dm gets Dm C Dm Bb C Dm Bb C Dm
Dm When they dig a six foot C hole in the ground
Dm And throw the dirt over C me
Dm Just let these words mark my C final place of Dm rest
Bb This is as C lonesome as it Dm gets
Bb Damn sure as C lonesome as it Dm gets
REPEAT CHORUS:
Bb I'm about as C lonesome as it Dm gets
Bb Just about as C lonesome as it Dm gets Dm
