D
Labored breaths and bed sores
                        G7M
Sing it to me all day long
D
When the aching sound of silence
                          G7M
Used to be our favorite song
     D
You and me against the world

                            D
You were my man and I your girl
       G7M
We had nothing except each other
                  G7M
You were my whole world
D
But then the day came
                       G7M
And you were up and gone

        D                             G7M
And I still call home that house in Nebraska
       D                                                    G7M
Where we found each other on a dirty mattress on the second floor
       D
Where the world was empty
            D
Save you and I
         G7M
Where you came and I laughed, and you left, and I cried
            D                                         G7M
Where you told me even if we died tonight, that I'd die yours

D
These dirt roads are empty
                        G7M
The ones we paved ourselves
           D
Your mama calls me sometimes
                  G7M
To see if I'm doing well
D
And I lie to her
                         D
And say that I'm doing fine

               G7M
When really I'd kill myself
                     G7M
To hold you one more time
        D
And it hurts to miss you
            D
But it's worse to know
     G7M
That I'm the reason
G7M
You won't come home

       D                                G7M
But I still call home that house in Nebraska
          D                                                  G7M
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

D
Save you and I
          G7M
Where you came and I laughed, and you left, and I cried
           D                                             G7M
Where you told me even if we died tonight, that I'd die yours

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

          D
You know, I still wait at the edge of town
                   G7M
Praying straight to God that maybe you’ll come back around
     D
I cry every day, and the bottles make it worse
                    G7M
'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
                 G7M
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
                                  G7M
But God, I just hope you're doing fine out there, I just pray that you're all right

D
And I feel so alone
                          G7M
And I feel so alone out here
D
I feel so alone
                           G7M
And I feel so alone out here
D
And I feel so alone without you
                    G7M
I'm so alone out here
                              D
I feel so alone, I feel so alone
 D                                     G7M
I'm so alone out here without you, baby

( D  G7M )
