Capo 4th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse 1

This world that I live in is empty and cold

This loneliness cuts me and tears at my soul

I’m no child of destiny

No fortune son

I’ve chased you so long

I’m too weak to run

Verse 2

same as V.1

And here I return to a backstreet of thrill

Back to any warm shoulder till she’s got her fill

And then I treat shame like some old friend from home

Who I can lean on till the misery is gone

Chorus 1

A new day is here, but nothing is new

But you’re still gone, still I tremble for you

Verse

same as 1 and 2):

I cry out at bedtime: “oh please not tonight”

Then I hear your footsteps and I turn on the light

Of course you’re never there,

No you never are

And I try to forget to that there’s always a bar

Chorus 2

Though I win that battle

And sometimes I do,

Still sleep doesn’t come, and I tremble for you

very nice, simple progression found in a lot of country western songs
