D Bb C Dm
Dm C
I've been sittin' here alone in the darkness
Dm C
With the sound of goodbye ringin' in my head
Dm C Dm
I don't know how much longer I can go on like this
Bb C Dm
I'm about as lonesome as it gets
Bb C Dm
Just about as lonesome as it gets
Dm C
For a long time now we've been drifting apart
Dm C
I should have been glad to see you go
Dm C Dm
But now that it's over and you're on a silver jet
Bb C Dm
I'm about as lonesome as it gets
Bb C Dm
Just about as lonesome as it gets
CHORUS:
Bb Dm
If it rained straight whiskey, forty days and nights
C Dm
It wouldn't be enough to numb this hurt I feel
Bb Dm
Or keep this lump that's in my throat, from chokin' me to death
F A
I'm about as lonesome as it gets
N/C Dm DCDBCDBCDm
Just about as lonesome as it gets
Dm C
When they dig a six foot hole in the ground
Dm C
And throw the dirt over me
Dm C Dm
Just let these words mark my final place of rest
Bb C Dm
This is as lonesome as it gets
Bb C Dm
Damn sure as lonesome as it gets
REPEAT CHORUS:
Bb C Dm
I'm about as lonesome as it gets
Bb C Dm Dm
Just about as lonesome as it gets
