[C#]
I can't recall one [A#] [F#] time in my [C#] life I felt as lonely [G#] as I do [C#] now.
[F#] [C#] I [F#] feel like [C#] I can lay down [F#] and get up [C#] no more.
[F#] [C#] [F#] It's a [C#] damn misfeeling I never felt before.
Tonight I feel [F#] like an old [C#] violin.
Simply be put away [G#] and never played [C#] again.
[A#m] [F#] [C#]
Don't ask me why I feel like this.
[F#]
Hell, I [C#] can't say.
I only wish this feud [G#] would just go [C#] away.
[F#] [C#]
I guess it's [F#] cause the truth is the hardest thing [C#] to face.
[A#m] [F#] Cause [C#] you can't [F#] change [C#] the truth in [G#] the slightest way.
[F#m]
I tried [C#]
so I asked myself, I said, John, [F#] where do you go [C#] from here?
[F#] [C#] [F#] [C#] I'm dead like a damn fool.
[G#] He turned around, I looked [C#] in the mirror.
[F#] [C#] And there I saw [F#] an old [C#] violin.
[F#] Simply [C#] be put away [G#] and never [C#] played again.
So one more time, just to be sure, [F#] I said, John, [C#]
where in the hell do you go from here?
[F#] [C#]
You know, there wasn't a nickel's worth of difference [D#m] [C#] when I looked in the mirror.
And here I was singing, [F#] an old [C#] violin.
[F#] Simply be [C#] put away [G#] and never played [C#] again.
And just like that it hit me.
That old violin and I were just alike.
We'd give our all to music and soon we'll give our lives.
