Dm  Bb  C  Dm 
 
Dm I've been sittin' here alone in the C darkness 
Dm With the sound of goodbye ringin' in my C head 
Dm I don't know how much longer I can C go on like Dm this 
Bb I'm about as C lonesome as it Dm gets 
Bb Just about as C lonesome as it Dm gets 
 
Dm For a long time now we've been C drifting apart 
Dm I should have been glad to see you C go 
Dm But now that it's over and you're C on a silver Dm jet 
Bb I'm about as C lonesome as it Dm gets 
Bb Just about as C lonesome as it Dm gets 
 

[Refrão]
Bb If it rained straight whiskey, Dm forty days and nights 
C It wouldn't be enough to numb this hurt I Dm feel 
Bb Or keep this lump that's in my throat, from Dm chokin' me to death 
F I'm about as lonesome as it A gets 
{N/C} Just about as lonesome as it Dm gets  Dm C Dm Bb C Dm Bb C Dm 
 
Dm When they dig a six foot C hole in the ground 
Dm And throw the dirt over C me 
Dm Just let these words mark my C final place of Dm rest 
Bb This is as C lonesome as it Dm gets 
Bb Damn sure as C lonesome as it Dm gets 
 
REPEAT CHORUS: 
 
Bb I'm about as C lonesome as it Dm gets 
Bb Just about as C lonesome as it Dm gets    Dm
