How do You Get That Lonely

F                         Dm
It was just another story written on the second page
Bb                              C
Underneath the Tiger's football score
        F                     Dm
It said he was only eighteen, a boy about my age
Bb                                      C
They found him face down on the bedroom floor
            Dm                        C
There'll be services on Friday at the Lawrence Funeral Home
Bb                                       C
Then out on Mooresville highway, they'll lay him 'neath a stone?

(Chorus)

F          C        Bb      F          C         Bb
How do you get that lonely, how do you hurt that bad
Gm                         Dm
To make you make the call, that havin' no life at all
D#                 Dm            C
Is better than the life that you had
F          C       Dm C Bb            F          Bb
How do you feel so empty, you want to let it all go
F          C        Bb     Gm     C      Bb
How do you get that lonely... and nobody know?


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

(repeat Chorus)

F                         Dm
It was just another story printed on the second page
Bb             C                   Dm
Underneath the Tiger's football score?
