[B] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ .
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ I can't recall _ one [E] _ time in my [B] life I _ _ _ felt as lonely _ _ [F#] _ as I do [B] tonight.
[E] I _ [B] _ feel like I can lay down _ [E] _ and get up no [B] more.
[E] _ _ [B] _ It's a damnedest feeling I _ [F#] _ never felt it [B] before _ _ _ _ _ .
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ .
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ .
Tonight I feel _ [E] _ like an old [B] violin.
_ _ _ _ [E].
Soon to [B] be put away _ [F#] and never [B] played again.
[E] _ [B] Don't ask me why I feel like this.
_ [E] _ _ .
Hell, I can't [B] say.
_ I _ [E].
only wish [B] this feeling _ [F#] would just [B] go _ away.
[E] _ [B] I guess it's cause [E] the truth is the hardest thing I [B] ever faced _ _ _ .
Cause you [E] can't change [B] the truth in [F#] the slightest way [C] I _ _ tried.
_ [B] _ _ _ _ .
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [B] _ So I asked myself, I said, John, _ _ _ .
_ [E] _ where do you go from [B] here?
_ _ .
_ _ _ [E] Then [B] like a fool I turned around [F#] and I looked in [B] the mirror.
And [E] _ [B] _ _ there I was sitting, _ [E] _ an old [B] violin _ _ .
Soon _ [E] to [B] be put away [F#] and never played [B] again _ .
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
_ _ [E] _ _ _ [B] So one more time, just to be sure, I said, John, _ .
_ [E] _ _ where in the [B] hell do you go from here?.
_ _ _ [E] _ [B] And you know, there [F#] wasn't a nickel's worth of difference [B] when I looked in the mirror.
[E] Cause [B] _ _ there I was sitting, _ _ [E] _ an old [B] violin _ .
_ _ _ [E] Soon to [B] be put away [F#] and never played [B] again.
_ Just _ like that it hit me, _ _ [E] _ why that old [B] violin and I were just alike.
We'd _ _ give our all to music [F#] and soon we'd give our life.
_ [B] _ _ _ Precious memories, _ how _ they linger.
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ [B] _ [F#] _ _ [C#m] _ _ [B] _ _ _ .
