I can't recall one [F] _ _
[Dm] time [C] in my life _ _ _ _ _ I felt as long _ as [G] _
I did [C] now.
I _ _ feel like I could lay down [B] _ [C] _ [F] and get [C] up no more. _ _ _
It's a damnedish feeling.
_ [G] _ _ I never felt [C] it before. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Tonight I feel _ _ [F] like an old [C] violin, _ _ _ _ soon to be put away, _ [G] _ never played [C] again.
_ _ _ Don't ask me why I feel like [G] this.
[C] _ [F] _ _
I [C] can't say.
_ _ _ I only wish this fear would _ [G] _ just go [C] away.
_ _ I guess it's [F] cause the truth [Em] _ [Dm] is the hardest [G] thing I [C] ever faced. _ _ _ _ _
Cause you [F] can't change [C] the truth _ in [G] the slightest way.
[A] _ _ [C#] _ _ _
_ _ [C] I tried. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
So I said, John, _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ [C] where do you go from here? _ _ _
_ _ _ _ And then [G] like a fool I turned around and _ [C] _ I looked in the mirror. _
There I was standing, _ [F] _ and [C] oh, what a man, _ _ soon to be put away, _ [G] and never played [C] again.
_ _ And just like that it hit me. _ _ _ _ _
While that old violin and I were just a night dream, _ _ _ we'd give our all to music, [Dm] and soon [G] _ we'll give our life.
