[C#]
Well, I can't recall [A#] one [F#] time in [C#] my life I felt as lonely [G#] as I do [C#] now
[F#] [C#] I feel like I can lay down [F#] and get up [C#] no [F#] more
[C#] It's [F#] a [C#] damnedest feeling I've never felt before
Tonight I feel [F#]
like an old [C#] violin
[G#] [Fm] Soon [F#] to [C#] be put away [G#] and never [C#] played again
[F#] [C#] Don't ask me why I feel like this
[F#]
Hell, I [C#] can't say
I only wish this feeling [G#] would just go [C#] away
[F#] [C#]
I guess it's [F#] cause the truth
Is the hardest thing to [C#] face
Cause [A#m] [C#] you [F#] can't change [C#] the truth
In [G#] the slightest way [F#m] I tried
[C#]
So I asked myself, I said, John
[F#] Where do you [C#] go from here?
[F#] [C#] [F#] [C#] Then like a damned fool, [G#] he turned around
I [C#] looked in the mirror
[F#] [C#] And there I saw
[F#] An old [C#] violin
Soon [F#] to [C#] be put away
[G#] And never [F#] played [C#]
again
So one more time, just to be sure
I [F#] said, John
[C#]
Where in the hell do you go from here?
[F#] [C#]
You know, there wasn't a niggas worth of [D#m] difference
[C#] When I looked in the mirror
And there I was singing
[F#] An old [C#] violin
Soon [F#] to be [C#] put away
[G#] And never played [C#] again
And just like that it hit me
That old violin and I were just alike
We'd give our all to music
And soon we'll give our lives
[A#m] [G#]
[E] [D#m] [C#]
