A 
I can't recall one time in my life 
                 E          A 
I felt as lonely, as I do tonight 
                             D 
I feel that I could lay down 
              A 
And get up no more 
It’s the damnedest feelin'  
E                 A(Stop) 
I never felt it before. 

          A   D                A 
Tonight I feel, like an Old Violin 
                   E                   A 
Soon to be put away, and never played again 
                                 D         A 
Don't ask me why I feel like this, I can't say 
                        E                A 
I only wish this feelin’, would just go away. 

                      D     C#     B       E            A 
I guess its cause the truth is the hardest thing I ever faced 
                D          A             E 
Cause you can't change the truth, in the slightest way 
Cause I’ve tried. 

A                E                      A 
So I asked myself, where do you go from here 
                                E                   A 
Then like a fool I turned around, and looked in the mirror 
                       D          A    
And there I was seein’, an Old Violin 
                    E                  A 
Soon to be put away, and never played again. 

                            D 
So one more time just to be sure 
                A 
I asked myself, where in the would do you go from here 
                                          E 
And there wasn't a nickel's worth of difference 
                     A 
When I looked in the mirror. 

                        D           A 
Cause there I was seein', an Old Violin 
                   E                   A 
Soon to be put away, and never played again. 

A 
And just like that it hit me 
That Old Violin and I were just alike 
                     E 
We'd give our all to music 
                              A E A       
And soon we'll give our lives.
