Start Jamming...
Well, I can't recall one [F#] time [C#] in my life I felt as lonely [G#] as [C#] I do now
I feel like I can lay down [F#] and get up [C#] no more
It's a damnedest feeling [G#] I never felt it [C#] before
Tonight I feel [F#] like an old [C#] violin
Send it deep but away [G#] and never play [C#] it again
Don't ask me why I feel like this
[F#]
Hell, I [C#] can't say
[F#] I only [C#] wish this feeling [G#] would just [C#] go away
I guess it's [F#] cause the truth
Is the hardest thing [C#] I've ever faced
Cause you can't [F#] change [C#] the truth
In [G#] the slightest way
[D]
I tried, [G#]
[C#]
so I asked myself
I said, John, [F#] where do you [C#] go from here?
[F#] [C#] He looked like a damned [G#] fool, he turned around
I [C#] looked in the mirror
[F#] [C#] And then I saw
[F#] An old [C#] violin
[F#] Send it [C#] deep but away
[G#] And never [C#] play it again
So one more time, just to be sure
[F#] I said, John,
[C#] where in the hell do you go from here?
[C#]
You know, there wasn't a nickel's [G#] worth of difference
[C#] When I looked in the mirror
That there I was seeing
[F#] An old [C#] violin
[F#] Send it [C#] deep but away
[G#] And never play it [C#] again
And just like that it hit me
That old violin and I were just alike
We'd give our all to music
[G#] And soon we'll give our life
[C#]
[G#]
[E] [D#m] [C#]
