I do my best to hide this lowdown feelin'.

                                                        B7

I try to make believe there's nothin' wrong.

                   E                                           A

But they're always askin' me about you, darlin',

           E                    B7                          E

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.

         E                                                     A

But if they heard my heart, they'd hear it cryin',

  E                              B7                                E

"Where's my darlin'? When's she comin' home?"

  A                                                   E

I ask myself a million times what's right for me to do,

      A                                          E                        B7

To try to lose my blues alone or hang around for you.

            E                                            A

Well, I make it pretty good until that moon comes shining through,

        E                   B7         E

And then I get so doggone lonesome.

Time stands still when you're a waitin';

                                                             B7

Sometimes I think my heart is stoppin' too.

E                                        A

One lonely hour seems for - ever;

E                    B7                     E

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.

         E                                             A

But I don't care if the sun don't rise tomorrow

   E                        B7                   E

If I can't have you with me tonight.

            A                                                     E

Well, I know I'll keep on lovin' you 'cause true love can't be killed.

   A                                                     E                        B7

I ought to get you off my mind, but I guess I never will.

            E                                       A

I could have a dozen others, but I know I'd love you still.

            E          B7          E

'Cause I get so doggone lonesome.
