Old Violin
George Strait
[Chords] G 320003 C/G 3x2013 [Intro] / x3 [Verse 1] Well I can’t recall one time in my life I’ve felt as lonely as I do tonight I feel like I could lay down and get up no more It’s the damndest feeling I never felt it before [Chorus] Tonight I feel like an old violin Soon to be put away and never played again [Verse 2] Don’t ask me why I feel like this hell I can’t say I only wish this feeling would just go away I guess it’s ’cause the truth is the hardest thing I’ve ever faced ’Cause you just can’t change the truth in the slightest way I tried [Verse 3] So I asked myself I said "George where do you go from here?" Then like a fool I turned around and I looked in the mirror [Chorus] And there I was seein’ an old violin Soon to be put away and never played again [Verse 4] So one more time just to be sure I said "Now troubadour where in the hell do you go from here?" And you know there wasn’t a nickel’s worth of difference when I looked in the mirror [Chorus] ’Cause there I was seein’ an old violin Soon to be put away and never played again [Verse 5] And just like that it hit me Why that old violin and I we’re just alike We give our all to music and soon we’ll give our life [Outro] Precious memories how they linger ooh
