Steve Earle – Lonelier Than This (Guitar)

  Em         G/F#    G
  It doesn't get any lonelier than this

                        C
  I believe my heart'll break

            G                       D
  Tonight I prayed I'd die before I wake

       Em      G/F#       G
  With every   breath I'm tastin' your kiss

                         C
  And it's sweet upon my tongue

                   G          G/F#   Em
  Until the bitter tears fall one by one

  Em         G/F#    G
  Well, it doesn't get any lonelier than this

                        C
  'Cause I'm on this road alone

            G                       D
  My heartbeat ringin' like a hollow drum

       Em      G/F#       G
  I'm about as lonesome as a poor boy gets

                         C
  And there's nothin' I can do

                   G          G/F#   Em
  'Cause it's dark out here and I can't find you

  Em         G/F#    G
  It doesn't get any lonelier than this

  Em         G/F#    G
  It doesn't get any lonelier than this

                        C
  I'm as blue as blue can be

            G                       D
  Just an empty place where your love should be

       Em      G/F#       G
  I'm sick and tired of walkin' around like this

                         C
  With my heart outside my skin

                   G          G/F#   Em
  Scared to death we'll never touch again

  Em         G/F#    G
  It doesn't get any lonelier than this

                        C
  And there's no place I can go

            G                       D
  Just the dusty corners that the shadows know

       Em      G/F#       G
  Maybe this is as good as it's gonna get

                         C
  And I'll always be this way

                   G          G/F#   Em
  I'll just wander this world callin' out your name

  Em         G/F#    G
  But it doesn't get any lonelier than this
