               Db  F#              Db
Well I can't recall one time in my life,

Db                 Ab         Db
I've felt as lonely as I do tonight.

I feel like I could lay down,

F#            Db
And get up no more.

Its the damnedest feelin',

Ab                Db
I never felt it before.

          Db  F#              Db
Tonight I feel like an old violin.

                   Ab                 Db
Soon to be put away and never played again.

Don't ask me why I feel like this,

F#            Db
Hell, I can't say.

  F#             Db     Ab              Db
I only wish this feeling would just go away.

                       F#                                Db
I guess its 'cause the truth is the hardest thing I ever faced,

                 F#         Db           Ab
'Cause you can't change the truth in the slightest way.

F#m11        Db
I tried....

So I asked myself...I said John,

F#                   Db    F#  
Where do you go from here?

Db                              Ab                      Db     F#
Then like a damn fool I turned around and looked in the mirror,

Db             F#         Db
And there I saw an old violin.

F#         Db       Ab                 Db   F#
Soon to be put away, and never played again.

Db 
So one more time, just to be sure,

F#          Db                                     F#
I said John, where in the hell do you go from here?

Db                                            Ab
And you know there wasn't a nickel's worth of difference,

              Db
When I looked in the mirror.

F#           Db
Thats when I knew.

                       F#         C
That there I was seein' an old violin.

F#         C       Ab                 Db   F#
Soon to be put away and never played again.

Db
And just like that it hit me,

'Cause that old violin and I were just alike. We'd give our all to music,

    Ab                   Db       Ab  Db
And soon, we'll give our lives....
