Intro: D
(D)You went crying to the bedroom
I ran off to the (G)bar
(A)Another piece of heaven gone to (D)hell
The words we spoke in anger
Just tore my world (G)apart
(A)And I sat there feeling sorry for (D)myself
(D)Then an old man sat down beside me
And looked me in the (G)eye
(A)Said, son I know what your going (D)through
You ought a get down on your knees
And thank your lucky (G)stars
That you got someone to go home (D)to
CHORUS:
(D) You don't (D7)know about (G)lonely
Or how long the nights can (D)be
Till you've lived through the (A)stories
That still live in (D)me
You don't (D7)know about (G)sadness
Till you've faced life (D)alone
You don't know about (A)lonely
Till it's chiseled in (D)stone
(D)So I brought these pretty flowers
Hoping you would under(G)stand
(A)Sometimes a man is such a (D)fool
Those golden words of wisdom
From the heart of that old (G)man
Showed me I ain't nothing without (D)you
CHORUS:
(D)You don't (D7)know about (G)lonely
Or how long the nights can (D)be
Till you've lived through the (A)stories
That old man just told (D)me
And you don't (D7)know about (G)sadness
Till you faced life (D)alone
You don't know about (A)lonely
Till it's chiseled in (D)stone
You don't know about (A)lonely
Till it's chiseled in (D)stone
