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
Im no child of destiny
No fortune son
Ive chased you so long
Im 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 shes 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 youre 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 youre never there,
No you never are
And I try to forget to that theres always a bar
Chorus 2
Though I win that battle
And sometimes I do,
Still sleep doesnt come, and I tremble for you
very nice, simple progression found in a lot of country western songs
