INTRO: G  
#1.
Gm7I do my best to Ghide this low down feeling.
I try to make believe there's nothing Dwrong.
Oh, but they're Gm7always asking me about you, 
Cdarling.
And it Ghurts me so to Dtell them that you're Ggone.
#2.
GIf they ask me I guess I'd be denying, that I've 
been unhappy all Dalong.
Oh, Gm7but if they heard my heart they'd hear it 
Ccrying.
Oh, Gwhere's my darling, Dwhen's she coming Ghome?
CHORUS:
Well, CI've asked myself a million times what's 
Gright for me to do?
CTo try to lose my blues alone or Emhang around for 
Dyou.
Well, I Gmake it pretty Gm7good until that Cmoon comes 
shining through, and Gthen I get so Ddoggone Glonesome.
#3.
Well, Gm7time stands still when you're a-Gwaiting.
SomeGm7times I think my heart is stopping, Dtoo.
You Gm7know one lonely hour seems forCever.
Just Gsixty minutes Dmore to wait for Gyou.
#4.
Oh, Gm7but I guess I'll keep waiting 'til you're Gwith me.
Cause Gm7I believe that loving you is rAight.D  
Well, I Gm7don't care if the sun don't rise toCmorrow.
If GI can't have you Dwith me toGnight.
CHORUS:
Well, I Cknow I'll keep on loving you because Gtrue 
love can't be killed.
I Cknow I ought to get you off my mind but I Gguess 
I never Dwill.
I could Ghave a dozen others, but I Cknow I'd love 
you still.
Cause GI get so Ddoggone Glonesome.
OUTRO:
GOh, I get so Ddoggone Glonesome..oh, I get so Ddoggone 
Glonesome..(Fade.)
