Chords

[Intro] C C G F F [Verse 1]
C
Every night it's the same old grind

  F             G      C
I leave work at five-o-five

C
Been doing my best to forget about her

          F                    G
But she's driving me out of my mind
[Chorus]
     Am           Em
When I get home I know what I'll find

      F                   D7
How I wish that it wasn't so

         F         G        C         F
There'll be no one there to hold me tonight

        G                     C
In that house on old lonesome road
[Verse 2]
C
I recall how we laughed when we read the name

       F       G             C
In the paper before we moved in

C
After we did our friends all asked

        F                       G7
If that house was lonesome back then
[Chorus]
Am                   Em
We were so young our dreams were so new

             F                         Dm   D
There's just no way that we could have known

    F     G       C              F
The irony of that place where we loved

     G                     C
That house on old lonesome road
[Bridge]
     F                                C
It's only shingles and shutters and a case of worn out stairs

A#7              F                 C
Just like my old heart they need repair

F              G            C                       F
Maybe I should sell it yeah maybe that would be the best

D7                                      Dm      F      G
Maybe then someone else could find some love at that address
[Verse 3]
C
I used to love that old house so much

F           G         C
Back before she went away

C
Now everything there is just gathering dust

         F                        G7
I should clean it up if I'm gonna stay
[Chorus]
      Am                  Em
But I don't have too much time anymore

        F               D7
I'm too busy talking to ghosts

      F       G  C             F
Cause her memory keeps me company

        G                     C
In that house on old lonesome road
[Bridge]
     F                                C
It's only shingles and shutters and a case of worn out stairs

A#7              F                 C
Just like my old heart they need repair

F              G            C                       F
Maybe I should sell it yeah maybe that would be the best

D7                                      Dm      F      G
Maybe then someone else could find some love at that address
[Outro]

Every night it's the same old grind

C
Been doing my best to forget about her

          F          G         C
But she's driving me out of my mind
