This is a great track off of David Gray's web exclusive live covers album "A Thousand
Behind."  Originally performed by Waylon Jennings
I'm a little iffy on some of the lyrics

Capo 4
Tuning: Standard
3/4 Timing

Intro:
|G|G|G|G|

Verse 1:
     G (320003@1)                                CThis (x32010@1)world that I live in is empty and cold

This loneliness cuts me and tears at my soul
    GI'm (320003@1)no child of destiny
            DNo (xx0232@1)fortune son

I've chased you so long
                GI'm (320003@1)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 (320003@1)                             CA (x32010@1)new day is here, but nothing is new
     D (xx0232@1)                                   G|G|G|G| (320003@1)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:
       GThough (320003@1)I win that battle
                 CAnd (x32010@1)sometimes I do,
       D(tempo (xx0232@1)slows down)                 G(strum (320003@1)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
