[Verse 1]
DSing me something Gsimple and Dsad, and Bmkeep it in the Akey of GD
I've got my Afiddle out, I want to Gplay it real bad, but BmI'm only Agood in one Gkey
DSing it out Gstraight from the Dheart that Bmold time AmeloGdy
and I'll Ajoin right in with the Gcounter-part, some Bmlonesome AharmoGny
[Chorus 1]
ANone of the songs I reDmember seem to Gfit the way I Dfeel,
EmI need somethin' Bmlonely and lost, I need Bmsomethin' Aragged and Greal
[Verse 2]
DDrunk and desperate, Ghelpless and Dhigh, it all Bmfeels like a Athin miGrage
AI'm going nowhere just gGetting by Bmsleepin' in Afriend's gaGrage
DTell me something Gtrusted and Dtrue that won't Bmdo this Amoment Gwrong
you've got a Alook in your eye and I can Gtell that you Bmknow just the Aperfect Gsong
[Chorus 2]
ANone of the ones I reDmember seem to Gfit the way I Dfeel,
EmI need somethin' Bmlonely and lost, I need Bmsomethin' Aragged and Greal

Sing me something simple and sad, and keep it in the key of D

A G Bm A G

I've got my fiddle out, I want to play it real bad, but I'm only good in one key

D G D Bm A G

Sing it out straight from the heart that old time melody

A G Bm A G

and I'll join right in with the counter-part, some lonesome harmony

None of the songs I remember seem to fit the way I feel,

Em Bm Bm A G

I need somethin' lonely and lost, I need somethin' ragged and real

[Verse 2]

D G D Bm A G

Drunk and desperate, helpless and high, it all feels like a thin mirage

A G Bm A G

I'm going nowhere just getting by sleepin' in friend's garage

D G D Bm A G

Tell me something trusted and true that won't do this moment wrong

A G Bm A G

you've got a look in your eye and I can tell that you know just the perfect song

[Chorus 2]

I get out of the valley and I think I'm through, but there's always more to go

It's hard country we're traveling in the sun deals down it's wrath,

A G Bm A G

but every morning we get up again and get back on the path.
