A House In Nebraska

D 
Labored breaths and bed sores 
                        G7M 
Sing it to me all day long 
D 
When the aching sound of silence 
                          G7M 
Used to be our favorite song 
     D 
You and me against the world 

                            D 
You were my man and I your girl 
       G7M 
We had nothing except each other 
                  G7M 
You were my whole world 
D 
But then the day came 
                       G7M 
And you were up and gone 

        D                             G7M 
And I still call home that house in Nebraska 
       D                                                    G7M 
Where we found each other on a dirty mattress on the second floor 
       D 
Where the world was empty 
            D 
Save you and I 
         G7M 
Where you came and I laughed, and you left, and I cried 
            D                                         G7M 
Where you told me even if we died tonight, that I'd die yours 

D 
These dirt roads are empty 
                        G7M 
The ones we paved ourselves 
           D 
Your mama calls me sometimes 
                  G7M 
To see if I'm doing well 
D 
And I lie to her 
                         D 
And say that I'm doing fine 

               G7M 
When really I'd kill myself 
                     G7M 
To hold you one more time 
        D 
And it hurts to miss you 
            D 
But it's worse to know 
     G7M 
That I'm the reason 
G7M 
You won't come home 

       D                                G7M 
But I still call home that house in Nebraska 
          D                                                  G7M 
Where we found each other on a dirty mattress on the second floor 

(When I needed you, and I need you still) 
         D 
Where the world was empty 

D 
Save you and I 
          G7M 
Where you came and I laughed, and you left, and I cried 
           D                                             G7M 
Where you told me even if we died tonight, that I'd die yours 

(So I died there under you, every night, all night) 

          D 
You know, I still wait at the edge of town 
                   G7M 
Praying straight to God that maybe you’ll come back around 
     D 
I cry every day, and the bottles make it worse 
                    G7M 
'Cause you were the only one I was never scared to tell I hurt 

                 D 
And I found photographs of our school, on the day we met 
                 G7M 
I thought that you were so beautiful, it was love, I guess 
                D 
And you might never come back home, and I may never sleep at night 
                                  G7M 
But God, I just hope you're doing fine out there, I just pray that you're all right 

D 
And I feel so alone 
                          G7M 
And I feel so alone out here 
D 
I feel so alone 
                           G7M 
And I feel so alone out here 
D 
And I feel so alone without you 
                    G7M 
I'm so alone out here 
                              D 
I feel so alone, I feel so alone 
 D                                     G7M 
I'm so alone out here without you, baby 

( D  G7M )
