I can't recall one time in my life

I felt as lonely, as I do tonight

I feel that I could lay down

And get up no more
It’s the damnedest feelin'

I never felt it before.
A D A
Tonight I feel, like an Old Violin
E A
Soon to be put away, and never played again

Don't ask me why I feel like this, I can't say
E A
I only wish this feelin’, would just go away.

Cause you can't change the truth, in the slightest way
Cause I’ve tried.

So I asked myself, where do you go from here

And there I was seein’, an Old Violin
E A
Soon to be put away, and never played again.
D
So one more time just to be sure

I asked myself, where in the would do you go from here

And there wasn't a nickel's worth of difference

When I looked in the mirror.

Cause there I was seein', an Old Violin
E A
Soon to be put away, and never played again.

And just like that it hit me
That Old Violin and I were just alike

We'd give our all to music
A E A
And soon we'll give our lives.
