I woke up this morning, long before the dawn
                                              C
I stumbled to the kitchen and put some coffee on
 F                                   Bb           F
The house was deathly quiet, I knew something was wrong
                                     C                 F
Then suddenly it dawned on me, The cold gray light of gone

[Chorus]
F                                           Bb                 F
No there's nothin' quite as lonely, As the cold gray light of gone
                                 G            C
Waking up and finding out she's never coming home
 F                                      Bb              F
The note that said it's over, Lord it chills me to the bone
                                             C                 F
No there's nothin' quite as lonely, As the cold gray light of gone

                                     Bb                F
O I've sat and cried for hours and I tried to clear my head
                                                   C
I even went and laid back down on her side of the bed
 F                                       Bb             F
Her perfume lingered on the sheets, Our love once laid upon
                                    C                  F
Her memory's destroying me, In the cold gray light of gone

[Chorus]
F                                           Bb                 F
No there's nothin' quite as lonely, As the cold gray light of gone
                                 G            C
Waking up and finding out she's never coming home
 F                                      Bb              F
The note that said it's over, Lord it chills me to the bone
                                             C                 F
No there's nothin' quite as lonely, As the cold gray light of gone

The note that said it's over, Lord it chills me to the bone

No there's nothin' quite as lonely, As the cold gray light of gone
