        C
You ran crying to the bedroom 
                 F
I ran off to the bar,
G                               C
Another piece of heaven gone to hell,
                                                F
The words we spoke in anger just tore my world apart,
      G                              C
And I sat there feeling sorry for my self.
 
              C
Then that old man sat down beside me
                     F
And looked me in the eye,
         G                              C
And said "Son, I know what you're going through,
 
You ought to get down on your knees
                     F      G                              C
And thank your lucky stars that you got someone to go home to."
            C          F
  You don't know about lonely,
              C
  Or how long nights can be,
                             G
  Till you lived through the story 
                         C
  That's still living in me,
                C          F
  And you don't know about sadness
                       C
  'Til you faced life alone,
                       G
  You don't know about lonely
                        C
  'Til it's chiseled in stone.
 
     C
So I brought these pretty flowers
                     F
Hoping you would understand
G                         C
Sometimes a man is such a fool,
 
Those golden words of wisdom
                           F
From the heart of that old man,
G                                 C
Showed me I ain't nothing without you.
            C          F
  You don't know about lonely
              C
  Or how long nights can be
                              G
  'Till you lived through the story
                         C
  That old man just told me
            C          F
  You don't know about sadness
                        C
  'Till you faced life alone
                       G
  You don't know about lonely
                         C
  'Till it's chiseled in stone
 
                       G
  You don't know about lonely
                                   C    G   C
  (No Chord) 'Til it's chiseled in stone.
