#14 R&B in 1959.
[Verse 1]
CEarly in the mornin', before the crack of Amdawn.
I'm sitting here Cthinking, oh, why was I Amborn?
I'm so broken Fhearted, I just can't go G7on.
Since you've been Cgone...(since you've been Amgone.)
Since you've been Cgone...(since you've been Amgone.)
[Verse 2]
AmNow I was so Chappy, with you by my Amside.
You told me you Cloved me, but honey, you Amlied.
You left me here Fcrying, how can I go G7on?
Since you've been Cgone...(since you've been Amgone.)
Since you've been Cgone...(since you've been Amgone.)
[Chorus]
FmThe night seems like a million Cyears..
Fmwaitin' till the break of day Cappears.
DAll night long weeping like a willow,
Dm7tossing and turning on my tear-stained pillow,
Gguess I'm gonna drown in my own G7tears.
[Verse 3]
G7I'm gonnna go Cwalking by the railroad Amtrack.
I'm just gonna let the CChoo-Choo, cross over my Amback.
Life ain't worth Fliving, can't go G7on..
Since you've been Cgone...(since you've been Amgone.)
Since you've been Cgone...(since you've been Amgone.)
[Interlude]

Gguess I'm gonna drown in my own G7tears.

I'm just gonna let the CChoo-Choo, cross over my Amback.
Life ain't worth Fliving, can't go G7on..
Since you've been Cgone...(since you've been Amgone.)
Since you've been Cgone...(since you've been Amgone.)

Since you've been Cgone...(since you've been Amgone.)
Since you've been Cgone...(since you've been Amgone.)
