Intro: Bm G Bm G

It was just another story printed on the second page
G D9
Underneath the Tiger's football score
D Bm
It said he was only eighteen, a boy about my age
G A
They found him face down on his bedroom floor
Bm Bm/A
There'll be services on Friday at the Lawrence Funeral Home
G Asus A
Then out on Mooresville highway, they'll lay him 'neath a stone
Chorus:
D A/C# Bm G D A/C# Bm G
How do you get that lonely, how do you hurt that bad
Em D
To make you make the call, that havin' no life at all
C G/B Asus A
Is better than the life that you had
D A/C# Bm A G D/F# Em
How do you feel so empty, you want to let it all go
D A/C# Bm A G A Bm G
How do you get that lonely... and nobody knows
D Bm
Did his girlfriend break up with him, did he buy or steal that gun
G A D9
Did he lose a fight with drugs or alcohol
D Bm
Did his Mom and Daddy forget to say I love you son
G Asus A
Did no one see the writing on the wall
Bm Bm/A
I'm not blamin' anybody, we all do the best we can
G Asus A
I know hindsight's 20/20, but I still don't understand
CHORUS
