Capo: 2
(D)
One coffee cup, one toothbrush
   (G)                              (D)     (G)
One set of keys, one car out in the drive
(D)     
One half of the closet of the empty
(G)                        (D)       (G)
One half of the bed cold at night
(A)                       (G)
One of us just up and disappeared
    (A)                          (G)
That only leaves one of us around here
(D) (G)                    (D)        (G)
Lonesome, can drive a man insane
(D) (G)                            (D)    (G)
Lonesome, it's the sad part of the game
(A)       (G)
Win some, lose some
(D) (G)
Lonesome
(D) 
One man and one woman
(G)                          (D)      (G)
One too many cold and bitter fights
(D)                   
One high powered lawyer later
(G)                                (D)   (G)
One piece of paper they want me to sign
    (A)                               (G)
The hand she used to hold picks up the pen
    (A)                     (G)
And all at once reality sets in
(D) (G)                    (D)        (G)
Lonesome, can drive a man insane
(D) (G)                            (D)    (G)
Lonesome, it's the sad part of the game
(A)       (G)
Win some, lose some
(D) (G)
Lonesome
(G)     (A)              (G)
Yeah you win some, or you lose some
(D) (G)
Lonesome
(D) (G)
Lonesome
