Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 It was just another story printed on the second page

Underneath the Tiger's football score

 It said he was only eighteen, a boy about my age

They found him face down on his bedroom floor

 There'll be services on Friday at the Lawrence Funeral Home

 Then out on Mooresville highway, they'll lay him 'neath a stone

Chorus

How do you get that lonely, how do you hurt that bad

To make you make the call, that havin' no life at all

Is better than the life that you had

How do you feel so empty, you want to let it all go

How do you get that lonely... and nobody knows

 Did his girlfriend break up with him, did he buy or steal that gun

 Did he lose a fight with drugs or alcohol

 Did his Mom and Daddy forget to say I love you son

 Did no one see the writing on the wall

 I'm not blamin' anybody, we all do the best we can

 I know hindsight's 20/20, but I still don't understand
