Verse 1
E 
do my best to hide this lowdown feelin'
B7 
I try to make believe there's nothing wrong
E 
A 
But they're always asking me about you darlin'
E 
B7 
E 
And it hurts me so to tell 'em that you're gone
E 
If they ask me I guess I'd be denyin'
B7 
That I've been unhappy all alone
E 
A 
But if they heard my heart they'd hear it cryin'
E 
B7 
E 
Where's my darling, when's she coming home

Chorus 1

A

I ask myself a million times

E

what's right for me to do

A

To try to lose my blues alone

E

B7

or hang around for you

E

But I make it pretty good

A

until that moon comes shining through

E

B7

And that I get so doggone

E

lonesome

Verse 2
E 
Time stands still when you're awaitin'
B7 
Sometimes I think my heart is stoppin' too
E 
A 
One lonely hour seems forever
E 
B7 
E 
Sixty minutes more to wait for you
E 
But I guess I'll keep waitin' till you're with me
B7 
'Cause I believe that loving you is right
E 
A 
But I don't care if the sun don't rise tomorrow
E 
B7 
E 
If I can't have you with me tonight

Chorus 2
A 
Well I know I'll keep on loving you
E 
'Cause true love can't be killed
A 
I ought to get you off of my mind
E 
B7 
But I guess I never will
E 
I could have a dozen others
A 
But I know I'd love you still
E 
B7 
'Cause I  get so doggone
E
