E
i do my best to hide this lowdown feelin’ .
B7
i try to make believe there’s nothin’ wrong .
E A
but they’re always askin’ me about you , darlin’ ,
E B7 E
and it hurts me so to tell ’em that you’re gone .

E
if they ask me , i guess i’d be denyin’
B7
that i’ve been unhappy all alone .
E A
but if they heard my heart , they’d hear it cryin’ ,
E B7 E
“where’s my darlin’? when’s she comin’ home?”

A E
i ask myself a million times what’s right for me to do ,
A E B7
to try to lose my blues alone or hang around for you .
E A
well , i make it pretty good until that moon comes shining through ,
E B7 E
and then i get so doggone lonesome .

guitar solo :

| | : A | A | E | E : | |
| B7 | B7 | B7 | B7 |
| E | E | E | E |

E
time stands still when you’re a waitin’;
B7
sometimes i think my heart is stoppin’ too .
E A
one lonely hour seems for – ever;
E B7 E
sixty minutes more to wait for you .

E
but i guess i’ll keep waitin’ till you’re with me ,
B7
’cause i believe that lovin’ you is right .
E A
but i don’t care if the sun don’t rise tomorrow
E B7 E
if i can’t have you with me tonight .

A E
well , i know i’ll keep on lovin’ you ’cause true love can’t be killed .
A E B7
i ought to get you off my mind , but i guess i never will .
E A
i could have a dozen others , but i know i’d love you still .
E B7 E
’cause i get so doggone lonesome .
