E
I do my best to hide this lowdown feelin'.
B7
I try to make believe there's nothin' wrong.
EA
But they're always askin' me about you, darlin',
EB7E
And it hurts me so to tell 'em that you're gone.
E
If they ask me, I guess I'd be denyin'
B7
That I've been unhappy all alone.
EA
But if they heard my heart, they'd hear it cryin',
EB7E
"Where's my darlin'? When's she comin' home?"
AE
I ask myself a million times what's right for me to do,
AEB7
To try to lose my blues alone or hang around for you.
EA
Well, I make it pretty good until that moon comes shining through,
EB7E
And then I get so doggone lonesome.
Guitar Solo:

E
Time stands still when you're a waitin';
B7
Sometimes I think my heart is stoppin' too.
EA
One lonely hour seems for - ever;
EB7E
Sixty minutes more to wait for you.
E
But I guess I'll keep waitin' till you're with me,
B7
'Cause I believe that lovin' you is right.
EA
But I don't care if the sun don't rise tomorrow
EB7E
If I can't have you with me tonight.
AE
Well, I know I'll keep on lovin' you 'cause true love can't be killed.
AB7
I ought to get you off my mind, but I guess I never will.
EA
I could have a dozen others, but I know I'd love you still.
EB7E
'Cause I get so doggone lonesome.
