G                                   G7 
On this lonely bed I'm lying   deep inside my mind just crying 
    C                                   G 
Far away to break  this hold she has on me 
  D7                                 G 
I wish that she would call   but the phone upon the wall 
      A7                         D7 
Seems to turn the time into eternity 
  
          G                                  G7 
She keeps walking through my brain   Lord and I can't stand the strain 
     C                                 G 
That facing life without her brings to mind 
        C                   G                    C 
Hurtin' heavy hanging on    realizin' that she's gone 
  G           D7              G 
It is only desperation that I find 
  
                  C            G 
Desperation has a hold upon my body   and my soul 
                             A7              D7 
Loving her was all I had and now I've lost control 
        G                          C                 A7 
Help me make it to tomorrow Lord   send me down your soothing word 
    G            D7             C  G 
And calm this desperation in my s-oul 
  
                                           G7 
Lord the world is filled with others   who were broken hearted lovers 
      C                                      G 
And I know they must have faced a night like this 
      D7                            G 
Empty heart and all alone   hurtin' clear down to the bone 
          A7                           D7 
Breathing life into a sweet remembered kiss 
  
        G                           G7 
Life is just an endless motion   yet I can't dispel the notion   
     C                                  G 
That without her loving I can't make it through 
    C                                G                       C 
I'm dreaming daydreams of the past   knowing I have seen the last 
       G                 D7            G 
Of her love  and there's nothing I can do
