Bb C
Underneath the Tiger's football score
F Dm
It said he was only eighteen, a boy about my age
Bb C
They found him face down on the bedroom floor
Dm C
There'll be services on Friday at the Lawrence Funeral Home
Bb C
Then out on Mooresville highway, they'll lay him 'neath a stone…
(chorus)
F C Bb F C Bb
How do you get that lonely, how do you hurt that bad
Gm Dm
To make you make the call, that havin' no life at all
D# Dm C
Is better than the life that you had
F C Dm C Bb F Bb
How do you feel so empty, you want to let it all go
F C Bb Gm C Bb
How do you get that lonely... and nobody know…
F Dm
Did his girlfriend break up with him, did he buy or steal that gun?
Bb C F
Did he lose a fight with drugs or alcohol?
Dm
Did his Mom and Daddy forget to say I love you son?
Bb C
Did no one see the writing on the wall?
Dm C
I'm not blamin' anybody, we all do the best we can
Bb C
I know hindsight's 20/20, but I still don't understand…
(repeat chorus)
