Lonesome As It Gets

C                  G             
I came home to an empty house 
   F                  C
after 2 years tried an' true
C                   G            
Made up a rhyme about love and 
            F                C
time but had no one to tell it to
 C                    G           
I lit a smoke and I threw my coat 
         F                      C
in the chair where she used to sit
Am                        G      
 Ain't that at about as lonesome 
       C
as it gets


[Verse 2]
C                         G      
She used to stand by the kitchen 
               F              C
door while the sun was coming up
C                         G      
She always tell me if it looked 
                    F              
like rain or if the cat crawled on 
   C
my truck
C                       G        
Now every morning is a quiet mess
             F                C
 for these things I can't forget
Am                        G      
 Ain't that at about as lonesome 
       C
as it gets

             F                  C 
And no more fire to raise the 
            G                C
crane no more track to hold the 
train
       F                       C  
Everything that I thought was love
                    G
 is looking like regret


[Verse 3]
C                    G           
I used to have some sense of self
         F                 C
 but I don't know where it went
C                           G
Feel like a clown neath a paper 
            F                   C
crown juggling in an empty tent
C                  G             
I wore my feet up a many street 
   F                 C
and still ain't found it yet
Am                     G         
  Ain't that about as lonesome as
      C
 it gets

             F                  C 
And no more fire to raise the 
            G                C
crane no more track to hold the 
train
          F                     C 
I been stranded in the rain so 
                       G
long I don't know what's wet


[Verse 4]
C                    G           
And I got drunk on Christmas 
       F           C
night and had an epiphany
C                       G        
Let's end the day in a holy way 
        F                     C
and set fire to the Christmas tree
C                     G          
While the bulbs were burning down
      F                 C
 the angel was taking fits
Am                     G         
 Ain't that about as lonesome as 
    C
it gets
