That's What Lonesome Is
Recorded by Jean Shepard
Written by Bill Anderson
G D7 G
All night long I stayed away and stared out into space
D7 G
I close my eyes but all I see is a picture of your face
C G
And on my lips remain the sweetest taste of your last kiss
D7 C D7 G
And in case you've never wondered that's what lonesome is
C G
That's what lonesome is and that's how lonesome feels
D7 C G
Its starts out like a bad bad dream then ends up being real
G7 C
I don't know how much longer I can live and hurt like this
G C D7 G
I'm almost dead already that's what lonesome is
C D7 G
That's what lonesome is
D7 G
I drank a pot of coffee tried to numb my brain with wine
D7 G
But still your memory keeps on running reckless through my mind
C G
I think of all I used to have and all I'm gonna miss
D7 C D7 G
And in case you've never suffered that's what lonesome is
