Dm Bb C Dm Dm I've been sittin' here alone in the C darkness Dm With the sound of goodbye ringin' in my C head Dm I don't know how much longer I can C go on like Dm this Bb I'm about as C lonesome as it Dm gets Bb Just about as C lonesome as it Dm gets Dm For a long time now we've been C drifting apart Dm I should have been glad to see you C go Dm But now that it's over and you're C on a silver Dm jet Bb I'm about as C lonesome as it Dm gets Bb Just about as C lonesome as it Dm getsDm When they dig a six foot C hole in the ground Dm And throw the dirt over C me Dm Just let these words mark my C final place of Dm rest Bb This is as C lonesome as it Dm gets Bb Damn sure as C lonesome as it Dm gets REPEAT CHORUS: Bb I'm about as C lonesome as it Dm gets Bb Just about as C lonesome as it Dm gets DmBb If it rained straight whiskey, Dm forty days and nights C It wouldn't be enough to numb this hurt I Dm feel Bb Or keep this lump that's in my throat, from Dm chokin' me to death F I'm about as lonesome as it A gets {N/C} Just about as lonesome as it Dm gets Dm C Dm Bb C Dm Bb C Dm
