#1. 
  G                        G7 
I cry myself to sleep each night.. 
C 
wishing I could hold you tight.. 
     G                                D 
life seems so empty since you went a..way. 
    G                         G7 
The pillow where you lay your head.. 
    C 
now holds my empty dreams instead.. 
       D                                     G   C G 
and it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone. 


   D                               C 
It keeps right on a-hurtin', every minute of the day. 
      D                          G 
Every hour you're away I feel so lone..lonely. 
                             G7             C 
And I can't help it, I don't think I can go on.. 
       D                                     G   C G 
and it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone. 

#2. 
     G                           G7 
They say a man ain't supposed to cry.. 
    C 
but when I see you passin' by.. 
   G                                     D 
my heart breaks down and cries a million tears. 
    G                         G7 
The pillow where you lay your head.. 
    C 
now holds my empty dreams instead.. 
       D                                     G   C G 
and it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone. 

   D                               C 
It keeps right on a-hurtin', every minute of the day. 
      D                          G 
Every hour you're away I feel so lone..lonely. 
                             G7             C 
And I can't help it, I don't think I can go on.. 
       D                                     G   C G 
and it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone.
