Version 1CHISELED IN STONE CAPO 1 [Verse] D You ran cryin' to the bedroom G I ran off to the bar, A7 D Another piece of heaven gone to hell, D the words we spoke in anger G just tore my world apart, A7 D And I sat there feeling sorry for myself. D Then that old man sat down beside me G and looked me in the eye, A7 D and said "Son, I know what you're going through, D You ought to get down on your knees G A7 D and thank your lucky stars, that you got someone to go home to." [Chorus] D D7 G You don't know about lonely, D Or how long nights can be, D A7 Till you lived through the story D That's still livin' in me, D7 G And you don't know about sadness D 'til you faced life alone, A7 You don't know about lonely D 'til it's chiseled in stone. [Verse] D So I brought these pretty flowers G hoping you would understand A7 D sometimes a man is such a fool, D Those golden words of wisdom G from the heart of that old man, A7 D showed me I ain't nothing without you. [Chorus] D D7 G You don't know about lonely, D Or how long nights can be, D A7 Till you lived through the story D that old man just told me, D7 G And you don't know about sadness D 'til you faced life alone, A7 You don't know about lonely D 'til it's chiseled in stone. A7 You don't know about lonely, D 'til it's chiseled in stone.
