D
[Verse ]
D Em G D
Last night he had him in his hands and kept him live until
D Em G A
he left him there with nothing but the bottle and the bill
G D F#7 G
And though it was the happy hour it wasn't any fun
D A G D
'cause the party again was just a party of one
[Verse 2]
D Em G D
The neon lights were dying as he tried to find his feet
D Em G A
he heared a news boy cryin' as he stepped out on the street
G D F#7 G
Extra, Extra Mister! Read about the latest war
D A G D
about who needs burnin' bridges at a quarter after four
[Chorus]
D A G D
So he swore into the mirror as he killed a cigarette
D A G D
I'm the loneliest man I ever met
[Verse 3]
D Em G D
He watched a wired and weary face reflected on the glass
D Em G A
he dropped another quarter down and watched the pin ball flash
G D F#7 G
and far away the jukebox played a mournful country song
D A G D
And Nebraska passed before his eyes and melted in the dawn
[Chorus]
D A G D
And he swore into the mirror as he killed a cigarette
D A
I'm the loneliest man
G D
I'm the loneliest man
D A G D
I'm the loneliest man I ever met
