[Chords]
G 320003
C/G 3x2013

[INTRO]
[G] [C/G] x3

[VERSE 1]
Well, I can't re[G]call [C/G] one time in my [G]life [C/G]
I've felt as [G]lonely [D] as I do to[G]night [C/G]
I feel like I could [G]lay down [C/G] and get up no [G]more [C/G]
It's the damndest [G]feeling,[D] I never felt it be[G]fore [C/G]

[CHORUS]
Tonight, I [G]feel [C/G] like an old v[G]iolin [C/G]
Soon to be [G]put away [D] and never played a[G]gain [C/G]

[VERSE 2]
Don't ask me why I [G]feel like this,[C/G] hell, I can't [G]say [C/G]
I only wish this [G]feeling [D] would just go [G]away
I guess it's 'cause the [C/G]truth is the hardest thing [G]I've ever faced
'Cause you just can't [C/G]change the [G]truth in the [D]slightest way [G#]
I tried [G] [C/G]

[VERSE 3]
[G] So I asked myself [C/G]
I said, "[G]George,[C/G] where do you go from [G]here?" [C/G]
Then like a [G]fool, I turned around [D] and I looked in the [G]mirror [C/G]

[CHORUS]
And there, I was [G]seein' [C/G] an old vi[G]olin [C/G]
Soon to be [G]put away [D] and never played a[G]gain [C/G] [G]

[VERSE 4]
So [C/G]one more time, just to be [G]sure [C/G]
I said, "Now, [G]troubadour,[C/G] where in the hell do you [G]go from here?" [C/G]
And you know, there wasn't a [G]nickel's worth of difference [D] when I looked in the [G]mirror [C/G]

[CHORUS]
'Cause there, I was [G]seein' [C/G] an old vi[G]olin [C/G]
Soon to be [G]put away [D] and never played a[G]gain [C/G]

[VERSE 5]
And just like that, it [G]hit me [C/G]
Why that old violin and [G]I, we're just al[C/G]ike
We give our [G]all to music, and [D]soon we'll give our life

[OUTRO]
[G]Precious [C/G]memories, [G]how they [C/G]linger, [G]ooh [D] [D7] [G]
