Chords

[Intro] D G D G [Verse 1]
D
Labored breaths and bed sores

                        G
Sing it to me all day long

D
When the aching sound of silence

                         G
Used to be our favorite song

         D
You and me against the world
You were my man and I your girl
        G
We had nothing except each other
You were my whole world
D
 But then the day came

                       G
And you were up and gone
[Chorus]
        D                               G
And I still call home that house in Nebraska

           D                                                   G
Where we found each other on a dirty mattress on the second floor

           D
Where the world was empty
Save you and I
           G
Where you came and I laughed, and you left, and I cried

           D                                           G
Where you told me even if we died tonight, that I'd die yours
[Verse 2]
D
These dirt roads are empty

                           G
The ones we paved ourselves

            D
Your mama calls me sometimes

                       G
To see if I'm doing well

       D
And I lie to her
And say that I'm doing fine
                 G
When really I'd kill myself
To hold you one more time
        D
And it hurts to miss you
But it's worse to know
      G
That I'm the reason
You won't come home [Chorus]
        D                               G
But I still call home that house in Nebraska

          D                                                   G
Where we found each other on a dirty mattress on the second floor
(When I needed you, and I need you still)
           D
Where the world was empty
Save you and I
           G
Where you came and I laughed, and you left, and I cried

           D                                             G
Where you told me even if we died tonight, that I'd die yours
(So I died there under you, every night, all night) [Post Chorus]
          D
You know, I still wait at the edge of town

                     G
Praying straight to God that maybe you'll come back around

   D
I cry every day, and the bottles make it worse

                     G
'Cause you were the only one I was never scared to tell I hurt

              D
And I found photographs of our school, on the day we met

                G
I thought that you were so beautiful, it was love, I guess

               D
And you might never come back home, and I may never sleep at night

                 G
But God, I just hope you're doing fine out there, I just pray that you're all right
[Bridge]
D
And I feel so alone

                          G
And I feel so alone out here

D
I feel so alone

                          G
And I feel so alone out here

D
And I feel so alone without you

                  G
I'm so alone out here

                                  D
I feel so alone, I feel so alone

                                       G
I'm so alone out here without you, baby
(I'm alone) [Guitar solo] D G D G D G D G [Outro] D G D
