It was just another story printed on the second page 
G                                D9
Underneath the Tiger's football score 
        D                        Bm
It said he was only eighteen, a boy about my age 
G                                        A
They found him face down on his bedroom floor 
             Bm                       Bm/A
There'll be services on Friday at the Lawrence Funeral Home 
     G                                   Asus               A 
Then out on Mooresville highway, they'll lay him 'neath a stone


Chorus:
D          A/C#      Bm    G  D         A/C#      Bm  G
How do you get that lonely,  how do you hurt that bad 
Em                          D
To make you make the call, that havin' no life at all 
C                  G/B            Asus A
Is better than the life that you had 
D          A/C#    Bm    A  G             D/F#       Em
How do you feel so empty,     you want to let it all go 
D          A/C#      Bm    A  G      A      Bm   G
How do you get that lonely...   and nobody knows

         D                                   Bm
Did his girlfriend break up with him, did he buy or steal that gun
        G                 A            D9
Did he lose a fight with drugs or alcohol
        D                       Bm
Did his Mom and Daddy forget to say I love you son
    G                              Asus A
Did no one see the writing on the wall 
         Bm                     Bm/A
I'm not blamin' anybody, we all do the best we can 
        G                        Asus              A
I know hindsight's 20/20, but I still don't understand
