Capo 2
Intro: (C)   (C)   (C)   (C)
You ran Ccrying to the bedroom 
I ran off to the Fbar,
GAnother piece of heaven gone to Chell,
The words we spoke in anger just tore my world aFpart,
And I Gsat there feeling sorry for my Cself.
Then that old Cman sat down beside me
And looked me in the Feye,
And said G"Son, I know what you're going Cthrough,
You ought to get down on your knees
And thank your lucky Fstars tGhat you got someone to go home Cto."
  You don't Cknow about Flonely,
  Or how long Cnights can be,
  Till you lived through the Gstory 
  That's still living in Cme,
  And you don't Cknow about Fsadness
  'Til you faced life aClone,
  You don't know about Glonely
  'Til it's chiseled in Cstone.
So I Cbrought these pretty flowers
Hoping you would undeFrstand
GSometimes a man is such a Cfool,
Those golden words of wisdom
From the heart of that old Fman,
GShowed me I ain't nothing without Cyou.
  You don't Cknow about Flonely
  Or how long Cnights can be
  'Till you lived through the Gstory
  That old man just told Cme
  You don't Cknow about Fsadness
  'Till you faced life aClone
  You don't know about Glonely
  'Till it's chiseled in Cstone
  You don't know about Glonely

Song originally done by Vern Gosdin

Capo 2

Intro: (C) (C) (C) (C)

You ran crying to the bedroom

I ran off to the bar,

G C

Another piece of heaven gone to hell,

The words we spoke in anger just tore my world apart,

G C

And I sat there feeling sorry for my self.

Then that old man sat down beside me

And looked me in the eye,

G C

And said "Son, I know what you're going through,

You ought to get down on your knees

F G C

And thank your lucky stars that you got someone to go home to."

C F

You don't know about lonely,

Or how long nights can be,

Till you lived through the story

That's still living in me,

C F

And you don't know about sadness

'Til you faced life alone,

You don't know about lonely

'Til it's chiseled in stone.

So I brought these pretty flowers

Hoping you would understand

G C

Sometimes a man is such a fool,

Those golden words of wisdom

From the heart of that old man,

G C

Showed me I ain't nothing without you.

C F

You don't know about lonely

Or how long nights can be

'Till you lived through the story

That old man just told me

C F

You don't know about sadness

'Till you faced life alone

You don't know about lonely

'Till it's chiseled in stone

You don't know about lonely

C G C

(No Chord) 'Til it's chiseled in stone.
