[G] [C]
[G] [C]
[G] [C] [G] Well, I can't recall one [C] time in [G] my life I felt as lonely [D] as I do [G] tonight
[C] I [G] feel like I could lay down [C] and get up [G] no more
[Em] [G] It's a damnedest feeling I [D] never [G] felt it before
Tonight I feel [C] like an [G] old violin
Seem [C] to [G] be put away [D] and never [G] played again
[C] [G] Don't ask me why I feel like this
[C] Hell, I [G] can't say
I [C] only [G] wish this feeling [D] would just [G] go away
[C] [G] I guess it's [C] cause the truth
Is the hardest thing [G] I've ever faced
Cause you just [C] can't [G] change the truth
In [D] the slightest way [Ab] I tried
[G]
[C] [G] So I asked [C] myself
[G] I said, George,
[C] where do [G] you go from here?
[C] [G] And like a fool I turned around
[D] And I [G] looked in the mirror
[C]
[G] And there I was singing
[C] An [G] old violin
Seem [C] to [G] be put away
[D] And never played [G] again
So
[C] one more time, [G] just to be sure
[C] I [G] said, now, troubadour
[C] Where in the hell [G] do you go from here?
And you know there wasn't a nickel's worth of difference
[D] When I looked [G] in the mirror
There I was singing
[C] An [G] old violin
[C] Seem [G] to be put away
[D] And never [G] played again
And just like that it hit me
[C] Why [G] that old violin and I
We're just alike
We give our all to music
And soon we'll give our life
Precious memories
[C] How they [G] linger
Ooh
[D] [G] [D] [G]
