Long on Lonely (Short on Pride)
written by Bob McDill, Dickey Lee, and Bucky Jones
CAPO I
INTRO: A D A D
AED
I'll bet that you're surprised to see me
AE
You wonder what I'm doin' at your door
AED
But you can't be more surprised than I am
AE
I thought I didn't need you anymore
BmADE
Thought there was somethin' waiting out there
BmADE
Somethin' I wanted, but now it's so clear
CHORUS:
ADA
Baby it's a cold, cold world out here tonight
ADE
It's nothin' at all like I thought I'd find
ADAD
So if you wonder why I'm standin' here
AEAD
I'm a little long on lonely, a little short on pride
AED
If you slam the door I wouldn't blame you
AE
You've got every reason to turn me down
AED
I was so sure I had the answers
AE
After what I've been thru I'm not sure now
BmADE
I won't say I love you, don't know if it's true
BmADE
I'll just say I need you, God knows I do
CHORUS:
ADAE
Baby it's a cold, cold world out here tonight
ADE
It's nothin' at all like I thought I'd find
ADAD
So if you wonder why I'm standin' here
AEF#mD
I'm a little long on lonely, a little short on pride
AEAA
I'm a little long on lonely, a little short on pride
