CHISELED IN STONE
CAPO 1
[Verse]
DYou ran cryin' to the bedroom
I ran off to the Gbar,
A7Another piece of heaven gone to Dhell,
Dthe words we spoke in anger
just tore my world Gapart,
And I A7sat there feeling sorry for myDself.
DThen that old man sat down beside me
and looked me in the Geye,
and said "A7Son, I know what you're going Dthrough,
DYou ought to get down on your knees
and thank your lucky starGs, that you got A7someone to go home to."D  
[Chorus]
DYou don't D7know about Glonely,
Or how long Dnights can be,
DTill you lived through the A7story
That's still livin' in Dme,
And you don't D7know about Gsadness
'til you faced life Dalone,
You don't know about A7lonely
'til it's chiseled in Dstone.
[Verse]
DSo I brought these pretty flowers
hoping you would underGstand
someA7times a man is such a Dfool,
DThose golden words of wisdom
from the heart of that old Gman,
A7showed me I ain't nothing without Dyou.
[Chorus]
DYou don't D7know about Glonely,
Or how long Dnights can be,
DTill you lived through the A7story
that old man just told Dme,
And you don't D7know about Gsadness
'til you faced life Dalone,
You don't know about A7lonely
'til it's chiseled in Dstone.
You don't know about A7lonely,
'til it's chiseled in Dstone.

CHISELED IN STONE

CAPO 1

[Verse]

You ran cryin' to the bedroom

I ran off to the bar,

A7 D

Another piece of heaven gone to hell,

the words we spoke in anger

just tore my world apart,

A7 D

And I sat there feeling sorry for myself.

Then that old man sat down beside me

and looked me in the eye,

A7 D

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

You ought to get down on your knees

G A7 D

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

[Chorus]

D D7 G

You don't know about lonely,

Or how long nights can be,

D A7

Till you lived through the story

That's still livin' in me,

D7 G

And you don't know about sadness

'til you faced life alone,

You don't know about lonely

'til it's chiseled in stone.

[Verse]

So I brought these pretty flowers

hoping you would understand

A7 D

sometimes a man is such a fool,

Those golden words of wisdom

from the heart of that old man,

A7 D

showed me I ain't nothing without you.

[Chorus]

D D7 G

You don't know about lonely,

Or how long nights can be,

D A7

Till you lived through the story

that old man just told me,

D7 G

And you don't know about sadness

'til you faced life alone,

You don't know about lonely

'til it's chiseled in stone.

You don't know about lonely,

'til it's chiseled in stone.
