[C#]
Though I can't recall [A#] one [F#] time [C#] in my life [F#] I felt as [C#] lonely [G#] as [C#] I do tonight
[F#] [C#] [F#] I feel like I [C#] can lay down [F#] and get up no [C#] more
[F#] [C#] It's [F#] a [C#] damnedest feeling I [G#] [F#] never felt it [C#]
before
Tonight I feel [F#] like an old [C#] violin
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 [F#] only [C#] wish this feeling [G#] would just go [C#] away
[F#] [C#]
I guess it's cause [F#] the truth
Is the hardest thing you ever [C#] faced
Cause
[A#m] [C#] you [F#] can't change the [C#] truth
In [G#] the slightest words [D] I tried
So [C#]
I asked myself, I said, John
[F#] Where do you [C#] go from here?
[F#] [C#] And then like a damned fool [G#] I 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 [C#] played again
So one more time, just to be sure
[F#] I said, John
[C#]
Where in the hell do you go from here?
[F#] [C#]
You know there wasn't a nickel's worth of difference
[D#m] [C#] When I looked in the mirror
That's when I felt
Where I was seeing
[F#] An old [C#] violin
Soon [F#] to [C#] be 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 life
[A#m] [G#]
