I can't reAcall one time in my life
I felt as lonely, Eas I do toAnight
I feel that I could lay downD  
And get up no Amore
It’s the damnedest feelin' 
E                 A(Stop)
I never felt it before.
Tonight I AfeelD, like an Old VioAlin
Soon to be put awayE, and never played aAgain
Don't ask me why I feel like thisD, I can't Asay
I only wish this feelin’E, would just go aAway.
I guess its cause the Dtruth A/C#is the Bhardest Ething I ever Afaced
Cause you can't Dchange the Atruth, in the Eslightest way
Cause I’ve tried.
ASo I asked myselfE, where do you go from Ahere
Then like a fool I turned aroundE, and looked in the Amirror
And there I was seein’, Dan Old VioAlin
Soon to be put away, Eand never played aAgain.
So one more time just to be Dsure
I asked myself, Awhere in the would do you go from here
And there wasn't a nickel's worth of diffeErence
When I looked in the Amirror.
Cause there I was seein'D, an Old VioAlin
Soon to be put awayE, and never played aAgain.
AAnd just like that it hit me
That Old Violin and I were just alike
We'd give our all to Emusic
And soon we'll give our lives.A  E  A
