  Until the bitter Gtears fall G/F#one by Emone
  EmWell, it doG/F#esn't geGt any lonelier than this
  'Cause I'm on this roaCd alone
  My heartbeGat ringin' like a hollow Ddrum

  And I'll always be this Cway
  I'll just wander Gthis world G/F#callin' Emout your name

Steve Earle - Lonelier Than This

Capo 4

Em G/F# G

It doesn't get any lonelier than this

I believe my heart'll break

G D

Tonight I prayed I'd die before I wake

Em G/F# G

With every breath I'm tastin' your kiss

And it's sweet upon my tongue

G G/F# Em

Until the bitter tears fall one by one

Em G/F# G

Well, it doesn't get any lonelier than this

'Cause I'm on this road alone

G D

My heartbeat ringin' like a hollow drum

Em G/F# G

I'm about as lonesome as a poor boy gets

And there's nothin' I can do

G G/F# Em

'Cause it's dark out here and I can't find you

Em G/F# G

It doesn't get any lonelier than this

Em G/F# G

It doesn't get any lonelier than this

I'm as blue as blue can be

G D

Just an empty place where your love should be

Em G/F# G

I'm sick and tired of walkin' around like this

With my heart outside my skin

G G/F# Em

Scared to death we'll never touch again

Em G/F# G

It doesn't get any lonelier than this

And there's no place I can go

G D

Just the dusty corners that the shadows know

Em G/F# G

Maybe this is as good as it's gonna get

And I'll always be this way

G G/F# Em

I'll just wander this world callin' out your name

Em G/F# G

But it doesn't get any lonelier than this
