View chords used in this chart
{VERSE 1}
G D/F# Em7 D/F#
And sometimes a man
G D/F# Em7 D/F#
Would ask everything and take it away
G D/F# Em7 D/F#
Before he realizes
G D/F# Em7 D/F#
Just how good he’s got it made
G D/F# Em7 D/F#
And please thankful
G D/F# Em7 D/F#
Of what you got cause if your not it just might pass you on by
G D/F# Em7 D/F#
And you will find yourself standin’ there
G D/F# Em7 D/F#
Oh, asking the question: “why?”
{Chorus}
C2 D
And what would I do
G D/F# Em7
If I did not have you
C2 D
And what would I say
G D/F# Em7
If I had no one to say it to
C2
Yes, I would be
D G
Oh, lonely, without you
{VERSE 2}
Same as verse 1
And I don’t know how long I’ll be around
I’m travelin’ from town to town
And let me take a moment and release
Just how I feel inside
And all my friends it’s been rough
Oh, and I love you all so
And no matter where I go
It’s in my heart, I’ll hold you close
-Chorus-
