Track 1 of 12 on the album "From The Heart" (2001) [Intro] Em [Verse 1]
Em                           D
   There's a window, by the window, there's a plant

A                            Em
   Next to the plant sits my calico cat

                             D
Close to the cat, there's a sofa where I lay

A                               Em
   Life stands still while the hours tick away

                               D
Right by the sofa, there's a phone that never rings

A                                Em
   Next to the phone, there's my bird that never sings

                           D
Above the bird, there's a picture on the wall

A                         Em
   One of me and you, oh, why don't you call?
[Chorus]
G                            D
   I'm next to nothing when I'm not next to you

A                                 Em
   Anything that's close to me is next to lonesome too

G                    D
   Paint the picture every shade of blue

A                            Em
   I'm next to nothing when I'm not next to you
[Verse 2]
Em                              D
   There's a hallway, down the hallway, there's a door

A                                Em
   Behind the door's a bed where I don't sleep no more

                            D
Next to the bed, there's a table and a note

A                       Em
   On the note are the hurting words you wrote

                         D
Next to "I'm sorry", you wrote the words "goodbye"

A                              Em
   Next thing I felt were the tears in my eyes
[Chorus]
G                            D
   I'm next to nothing when I'm not next to you

A                                 Em
   Anything that's close to me is next to lonesome too

G                    D
   Paint the picture every shade of blue

A                            Em
   I'm next to nothing when I'm not next to you
[Mandolin Solo] G D A Em [Bridge]
Em                           D
   There's a window, by the window, there's a plant

A                            Em
   Next to the plant sits my calico cat

                             D
Close to the cat, there's a sofa where I lay

A                               Em
   Life stands still while the hours tick away
[Outro] Em A
