[D]
[G]
[D] Layered beds and [Am] bedsores
Singing to me all day [G] long
[D] The aching sound [Am] of silence
Used to be our [G] favorite song
You [D] and me against it
You were my man and I your girl
We [G] had nothing except each other
You were my whole world
[D] Then the day came
And you were up and [G] gone
And [D] I still call home
That house in [G] Nebraska
Where [D] we found each other
On a dirty mattress on the second
[G] floor
[D] While the world was empty
Save you and I
While [G] you came and I left
And you left and I cried
While [D] you don't even
If we died tonight that I [G] died
[D] These little rooms are empty
The ones we paint [G] ourselves
[D]
Mama calls me to
[Am] see if I'm doing [G] [D] well
And
[G] [D]
I know I'd say that I'm doing fine
But [G] really I'd kill myself
To hold you one more time
And [D] it hurts to miss you
But it's worse to know
[G] That I'm the reason [D]
you [G] won't come home
But [D] I still call home
That house in [G] Nebraska
Where [D] we found each other
On a dirty mattress on the second [G] floor
While [D] the world was empty
Save you and I
While [G] you came and I left
And you left and I cried
While [D] you don't even
If we died tonight that I [G] died
Your arms are so hot
I wanna be with you every night
You [D] know I still wish
At the edge of town
Praying she'd [G] go home and make her bed around
[D] Now the bottles make it worse
Cause you [G] were the only word
I was never scared to tell her
I [D] found the photographs of us home
On the day we met
[A] I thought [G] that you were so beautiful
It was love I guess
And you [D] might never come back home
And I may never sleep at night
I'm gonna [G] just hope I'm doing fine
Although I just pray that you're alright
I
[D] feel so alone
I feel so alone
I [G]
[D] feel so alone
[G] And
[D]
I feel so alone without you
I'm so alone, I [G] need you
I [D] feel so alone
I feel so alone
With you, without you, baby
