[INTRO]
|[G]|[G]|[G]|[G]|
[VERSE 1]
This [G]world that I live in is empty and c[C]old
This loneliness cuts me and tears at my soul
I'm [G]no child of destiny
No fortune s[D]on
I've chased you so long
I'm too weak to [G]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]
A n[G]ew day is here, but nothing is n[C]ew
[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]
Though [G]I win that battle
And sometimes I d[C]o,
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
