Intro:
[D] [G] [D] [G]
Verse 1:
[D]Labored breaths and bed sores
Sing it to me all day lo[G]long
[D]When the aching sound of silence
Used to be our favorite s[G]song
You and m[D]me against the world
You were my man and I your girl
We had n[G]nothing except each other
You were my whole world
[D] But then the day came
And you were up and gon[G]gone
Chorus:
And I st[D]still call home that house in Nebr[G]Nebraska
Where we fo[D]found each other on
a dirty mattress on the second flo[G]floor
Where the w[D]world was empty
Save you and I
Where you c[G]came and I
laughed, and you left, and I cried
Where you t[D]told me even if we
died tonight, that I'd die[G]die yours
Verse 2:
[D]These dirt roads are empty
The ones we paved ourselves[G]ourselves
Your mama ca[D]calls me sometimes
To see if I'm doing wel[G]well
And I l[D]lie to her
And say that I'm doing fine
When really I'd k[G]kill myself
To hold you one more time
And it h[D]hurts to miss you
But it's worse to know
That I[G]I'm the reason
You won't come home
Chorus:
But I st[D]still call home that house in Nebr[G]Nebraska
Where we f[D]found each other on a
dirty mattress on the second fl[G]floor
(When I needed you, and I need you still)
Where the w[D]world was empty
Save you and I
Where you c[G]came and I
laughed, and you left, and I cried
Where you t[D]told me even if we
died tonight, that I'd die y[G]yours
(So I died there under you, every night, all night)
Post-chorus:
You know, [D]I still wait at the edge of town
Praying straight to G[G]God that
maybe you’ll come back around
I c[D]cry every day, and the bottles make it worse
'Cause you were the o[G]only one I
was never scared to tell I hurt
And I found ph[D]photographs of
our school, on the day we met
I thought that y[G]you were so
beautiful, it was love, I guess
And you might n[D]never come back
home, and I may never sleep at night
But God, I just h[G]hope you're doing fine out
there, I just pray that you're all right
Bridge:
[D]And I feel so alone
And I feel so alone out he[G]here
[D]I feel so alone
And I feel so alone out he[G]here
[D]And I feel so alone without you
I'm so alone out h[G]here
I feel so alone, I feel so alone [D]
I'm so alone out here without you, baby[G]baby
(I'm alone)
