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.

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.
