Intro: D G D G

Verse 1:
D
Labored breaths and bed sores
                        G
Sing it to me all day long
D
When the aching sound of silence
                         G
Used to be our favorite song
         D
You and me against the world

You were my man and I your girl
        G
We had nothing except each other

You were my whole world
D
 But then the day came
                       G
And you were up and gone

Chorus:
        D                               G
And I still call home that house in Nebraska
           D                                                   G
Where we found each other on a dirty mattress on the second floor
           D
Where the world was empty

Save you and I
           G
Where you came and I laughed, and you left, and I cried
           D                                           G
Where you told me even if we died tonight, that I'd die yours

Verse 2:
D
These dirt roads are empty
                           G
The ones we paved ourselves
            D
Your mama calls me sometimes
                       G
To see if I'm doing well
       D
And I lie to her

And say that I'm doing fine
                 G
When really I'd kill myself

To hold you one more time
        D
And it hurts to miss you

But it's worse to know
      G
That I'm the reason

You won't come home

Chorus:
        D                               G
But I still call home that house in Nebraska
          D                                                   G
Where we found each other on a dirty mattress on the second floor

(When I needed you, and I need you still)
           D
Where the world was empty

Save you and I
           G
Where you came and I laughed, and you left, and I cried
           D                                             G
Where you told me even if we died tonight, that I'd die yours

(So I died there under you, every night, all night)

Post-chorus:
          D
You know, I still wait at the edge of town
                     G
Praying straight to God that maybe you’ll come back around
   D
I cry every day, and the bottles make it worse
                     G
'Cause you were the only one I was never scared to tell I hurt
              D
And I found photographs of our school, on the day we met
                G
I thought that you were so beautiful, it was love, I guess
               D
And you might never come back home, and I may never sleep at night
                 G
But God, I just hope you're doing fine out there, I just pray that you're all right

Bridge:
D
And I feel so alone
                          G
And I feel so alone out here
D
I feel so alone
                          G
And I feel so alone out here
D
And I feel so alone without you
                  G
I'm so alone out here
                                  D
I feel so alone, I feel so alone
                                       G
I'm so alone out here without you, baby

(I'm alone)
