3/4 Timing

Intro:
|G|G|G|G|

Verse 1:
     G                                  C
This world that I live in is empty and cold

This loneliness cuts me and tears at my soul
    G
I?m no child of destiny
            D
No fortune son

I?ve chased you so long
                G
I?m too weak to run

Verse 2: same as V.1
And here I return to a backstreet of thrill
Back to any warm shoulder till she?s got her fill
And then I treat shame like some old friend from home
Who I can lean on till the misery is gone

Chorus 1:
   G                               C
A new day is here, but nothing is new
     D                                     G |G|G|G|
But you?re still gone, still I tremble for you

Verse (same as 1 and 2):
I cry out at bedtime: ?oh please not tonight?
Then I hear your footsteps and I turn on the light
Of course you?re never there,
No you never are
And I try to forget to that there?s always a bar

Chorus 2:
       G
Though I win that battle
                 C
And sometimes I do,
       D (tempo slows down)                 G (strum once and hold)
Still sleep doesn?t come, and I tremble for you


very nice, simple progression found in a lot of country western songs
