Every night it's the same old grind
F G C
I leave work at five-o-five

Been doing my best to forget about her
F G
But she's driving me out of my mind
Chorus
Am Em
When I get home I know what I'll find

How I wish that it wasn't so
F G C F
There'll be no one there to hold me tonight
G C
In that house on old lonesome road
Verse 2
C
I recall how we laughed when we read the name
F G C
In the paper before we moved in
C
After we did our friends all asked
F G7
If that house was lonesome back then
Chorus
Am Em
We were so young our dreams were so new
F Dm D
There's just no way that we could have known
F G C F
The irony of that place where we loved
G C
That house on old lonesome road

F C
It's only shingles and shutters and a case of worn out stairs
A#7 F C
Just like my old heart they need repair
F G C F
Maybe I should sell it yeah maybe that would be the best

Maybe then someone else could find some love at that address

I used to love that old house so much
F G C
Back before she went away

Now everything there is just gathering dust

I should clean it up if I'm gonna stay

But I don't have too much time anymore

I'm too busy talking to ghosts

Cause her memory keeps me company
