What Am I Doing There

Biography:

By most accounts, George Jones (born George Glenn Jones September 12, 1931 in Saratoga, Texas, died April 26, 2013, in Nashville, Tennessee), was the finest vocalist in the recorded history of country music. Initially, he was a hardcore honky tonker in the tradition of Hank Williams, but over the course of his career he developed an affecting, nuanced ballad style. In the course of his career, he never left the top of the country charts, even as he suffered innumerable personal and professional difficulties.

"WHAT AM I DOING THERE"
George Jones, _Walls Can Fall_

E
I no longer know
A
What's real any more
E
In the back of my mind
B
I have opened the door
E
That leads to the past
A
And the love we once shared
E B
I keep asking myself
E
What am I doing there

chorus (same chords as verse):
What am I doing there
Holding you tight
Taking down your hair
Lying close by your side
Making believe
That you still care
My new life is here
What am I doing there

I don't get much rest
With this secret I keep
And I'm afraid that some night
Oh, I'll talk in my sleep
How could I explain
To the one lying there
She's loving me now
What am I doing there

(repeat chorus)

My new life is here
What am I doing there
