Its Lonely I Cant Stand
View chords used in this chart
[Intro: ]G C C G
G C - G
I took the long way home tonight down a lonely road
C G
No riders, no company, Just me and the radio.
C - G
One by one I watched the miles slowly fall behind
C G
My heart weighing heavy knowing what I wouldn't find.
D D
The moon over my shoulder and the stars up in the sky,
Am - D G
There to remind me what's missing tonight.
Chorus:
C G
I don't mind being alone, it's lonely I can't stand.
Am G
These empty nights ain't no life for a woman nor a man.
C G
It's been so long since I held or felt the touch of a loving hand.
Am D(pause) G(rersume)
Being alone ain't so bad, it's lonely I can't stand.
Riff: G C G C G
G C - G
Staring out my window now at the world passing me by,
C G
Trapped here in this darkness doing solitary time.
G C - G
Accross the open fields I hear the soulful sad refrain,
C G
The high lonesome wailing of some distant midnight train.
D D
The sound of my heart beating and the silence in these rooms
Am - D G
They're to remind me what's missing tonight.
(Chorus)
(Riff)
(single, strong strum for these two chords)
D C - G
It's just another night on the one hand
Am D
On the other, it cuts like a knife.
(Chorus)
(Riff)
Repeat riff, excluding last G until faded out.
Enjoy!
