A A7
I cry myself to sleep each night
D
Wishing I could hold you tight
A E7
Life seems so empty since you went away
A A7
And the pillow where you lay your head
D
Now holds my empty dreams instead
E7
And it keeps right on a-hurtin'
A
Since you're gone
E7 D
It keeps right on a'hurtin every minute of the day
E7 D A
Every hour you're away I feel so lonely
A7 D
And I can't help it, I don't think I can go on
E7 A
And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone
A A7
They say a man ain't supposed to cry
D
But when I see you passing by
A E7
My heart breaks down and cries a million tears
A A7
The pillow where you lay your head
D
Now holds my empty dreams instead
E7 A
And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone
E7 D
It keeps right on a'hurtin every minute of the day
E7 D A
Every hour you're away I feel so lonely
A7 D
And I can't help it, I don't think I can go on
E7 A
And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone
E7 A
Yes, it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone
