[Verse]
 YDou went crying to the bedroom
 I ran off to the bGar
 AAnother piece of heaven gone to hellD  
 TDhe words spoke in anger
 JAust tore my world apartG  
 AAnd I set there feeling sorry for myselfD  
 TDhen a old man sat down beside me
 And looked me in the eyeG  
 AAnd son I know what you're going throughD  
 YDou oughta get down on you're knees
 and think you're lucky starsG  A  
 That you got someone to go home toD  
[Chorus]
 YDou dont know abD7out lonleyG  
 Or how long the nights can beD  
 Till you lived through the stAories
 That still live in mDe
 You dont know abD7out sadnessG  
 Till you faced life aDlone
 You dont know about lonleyA  
 till its chiseled in stoneD  
 Dso i brought these pretty flowers
 hoping you would understandG  
 sAometimes a man is such a foolD  
 TDhose golden words of wisdom
 From the heart of that old manG  
 SAhowed me I aint nothing without you.D

[Verse]

You went crying to the bedroom

I ran off to the bar

A D

Another piece of heaven gone to hell

The words spoke in anger

A G

Just tore my world apart

A D

And I set there feeling sorry for myself

Then a old man sat down beside me

And looked me in the eye

A D

And son I know what you're going through

You oughta get down on you're knees

G A

and think you're lucky stars

That you got someone to go home to

[Chorus]

D D7 G

You dont know about lonley

Or how long the nights can be

Till you lived through the stories

That still live in me

D7 G

You dont know about sadness

Till you faced life alone

You dont know about lonley

till its chiseled in stone

so i brought these pretty flowers

hoping you would understand

A D

sometimes a man is such a fool

Those golden words of wisdom

From the heart of that old man

A D

Showed me I aint nothing without you.
