Well I can't recall one time in my life, 
Db5                 Ab5         Db5 
I've felt as lonely as I do tonight. 
 
I feel like I could lay down, 
F#5            Db5 
And get up no more. 
 
Its the damnedest feelin',  
Ab5                Db5 
I never felt it before. 
 
 
          Db5  F#5              Db5 
Tonight I feel like an old violin. 
                   Ab5                 Db5 
Soon to be put away and never played again. 
 
Don't ask me why I feel like this,  
F#5            Db5 
Hell, I can't say. 
  F#5             Db5     Ab5              Db5 
I only wish this feeling would just go away. 
                       F#5                                Db5 
I guess its 'cause the truth is the hardest thing I ever faced, 
                 F#5         Db5           Ab5 
'Cause you can't change the truth in the slightest way. 
F#5        Db5 
I tried.... 
 
So I asked myself...I said John, 
F#5                   Db5    F#5   
Where do you go from here? 
Db5                              Ab5                      Db5     F#5 
Then like a damn fool I turned around and looked in the mirror, 
Db5             F#5         Db5 
And there I saw an old violin. 
F#5         Db5       Ab5                 Db5   F#5 
Soon to be put away, and never played again. 
Db5  
So one more time, just to be sure, 
F#5          Db5                                     F#5 
I said John, where in the hell do you go from here? 
Db5                                            Ab5 
And you know there wasn't a nickel's worth of difference, 
              Db5 
When I looked in the mirror. 
F#5           Db5 
Thats when I knew. 
 
 
                       F#5         C5 
That there I was seein' an old violin. 
F#5         C5       Ab5                 Db5   F#5 
Soon to be put away and never played again. 
Db5 
And just like that it hit me,  
 
'Cause that old violin and I were just alike. 
 
We'd give our all to music, 
    Ab5                   Db5       Ab5  Db5 
And soon, we'll give our lives....
