  			G                                  C                 Am 
I never listened to hurtin? songs, but I?m listenin? now 
D                                             G 
Since you?ve been gone sad songs are all they play 
                                   C                  Am 
The sun?s going down on music town and what?s killing me 
        D                 C              D       G 
Is everywhere I turn it?s another number one for me? 

G                              C 
Chiseled in stone, help me hold on 
       D             G 
It was almost like a song 
                   C 
Born to lose, am I blue 
     D           G 
I?ll always love you 
                  Am C 
Since you?ve been gone 
                      D                G 
The hits just keep on comin? all night long 
 
G                                         C          Am 
I could be in some bar or alone in my car doin? just fine 
         D 
Till the DJ comes on and plays a song 
                                  G 
That sends shivers up and down my spine 
                                             C                    Am 
Then out of the blue I start thinkin? of you and the good love we had 
        D                               C         D        G 
Tell me how come every song that I hear has to be slow and sad? 
 
(repeat chorus) 
G                                C 
Just you and I, don?t close your eyes 
       D                G 
I?m so lonesome I could cry 
                                   C 
One long day, life turned her that way 
           D            G 
He stopped lovin? her today 
                  Am C 
Since you?ve been gone 
                   D                G 
The hits just keep comin? all night long
