(Am) Soul as empty as a whiskey (G)glass
(Am) Bed as cold as it can be (G)
(Am) I been waking up alone too (G)long
(Am)Lonely ain't got nothin' on me (G)
(Am) Heart as hollow as an old dead (G)hickory
(Am) The ramblin' man in me is dyin' (G)
(Am) Still ain't found the one to settle me down
But it (C)ain't from a (Dm)lack of trying
No, it (C)ain't from a (Dm)lack of (Am)trying

(Chorus)
(F) 'Cause every night (C) I close my eyes
(Dm) And pray for something (Am)I can hold on to
(F) Where she at, (C) and what do I gotta (Dm)do
Tell me, (Am)who's gonna water my flowers (G)
(Am)Who's gonna cry my name (G)
When they (Am)lay me down in the cold hard ground
And I (C)meet my (G)higher (Dm)power
(F)Who's gonna (G)water my (Am)flowers / / / |(Am) / (G) / |(Am) / / / |(Am) / (G) / |

(Verse 2)
(Am) Sand is slipping through the hour-(G)glass
There's a (Am) number on my nights and days
(G) I need a (Am)brown-eyed baby
Come (Am)around and save me

No, I (C)ain't going (G)out this (Am)way / / / |(Am) / / / |(F) /

(Chorus)
(F) Every night (C) I close my eyes
