G  C/G  x3

[Verse 1]
                G    C/G             G    C/GWell, I can't recall  one time in my life
             G      D          G     C/GI've felt as lonely  as I do tonight
                    G        C/G            G    C/GI feel like I could lay down  and get up no more
                  G       D                  G    C/GIt's the damndest feeling, I never felt it before

[Chorus]
           G    C/G           G     C/GTonight, I feel  like an old violin
           G        D                  G    C/GSoon to be put away  and never played again

[Verse 2]
                   G              C/G             G    C/GDon't ask me why I feel like this,  hell, I can't say
                 G       D              GI only wish this feeling  would just go away
                        C/G                        GI guess it's 'cause the truth is the hardest thing I've ever faced
                      C/G        G            D              G#'Cause you just can't change the truth in the slightest way
        G  C/GI tried

[Verse 3]
G                  C/G So I asked myself
         G      C/G                   G      C/GI said, "George, where do you go from here?"
            G                     D                    G      C/GThen like a fool, I turned around  and I looked in the mirror

[Chorus]
                 G      C/G       G    C/GAnd there, I was seein'  an old violin
           G        D                  G    C/G  GSoon to be put away  and never played again

[Verse 4]
   C/G                       G    C/GSo one more time, just to be sure
              G          C/G                       G              C/GI said, "Now, troubadour, where in the hell do you go from here?"
                             G                            D                     G      C/GAnd you know, there wasn't a nickel's worth of difference  when I looked in the mirror

[Chorus]
                    G      C/G       G    C/G'Cause there, I was seein'  an old violin
           G        D                  G    C/GSoon to be put away  and never played again

[Verse 5]
                       G      C/GAnd just like that, it hit me
                        G               C/GWhy that old violin and I, we're just alike
            G                 DWe give our all to music, and soon we'll give our life
