Steve Earle - Lonelier Than This

 Capo 4

Em   G/F#   G  2X

  Em         G/F#    G
  It doesn't get any lonelier than this
                        C
  I believe my heart'll break
            G                       D
  Tonight I prayed I'd die before I wake
       Em      G/F#       G
  With every   breath I'm tastin' your kiss
                         C
  And it's sweet upon my tongue
                   G          G/F#   Em
  Until the bitter tears fall one by one


  Well, it doesn't get any lonelier than this
  'Cause I'm on this road alone
  My heartbeat ringin' like a hollow drum
  I'm about as lonesome as a poor boy gets
  And there's nothin' I can do
  'Cause it's dark out here and I can't find you
  It doesn't get any lonelier than this


  It doesn't get any lonelier than this
  I'm as blue as blue can be
  Just an empty place where your love should be
  I'm sick and tired of walkin' around like this
  With my heart outside my skin
  Scared to death we'll never touch again


  It doesn't get any lonelier than this
  And there's no place I can go
  Just the dusty corners that the shadows know
  Maybe this is as good as it's gonna get
  And I'll always be this way
  I'll just wander this world callin' out your name
  But it doesn't get any lonelier than this
