[Verse 1]
C
Every night it's the same old grind
  F             G      C
I leave work at five-o-five
C
Been doing my best to forget about her
          F                    G
But she's driving me out of my mind

[Chorus]
     Am           Em
When I get home I know what I'll find
      F                   D7
How I wish that it wasn't so
         F         G        C         F
There'll be no one there to hold me tonight
        G                     C
In that house on old lonesome road

[Verse 2]
C
I recall how we laughed when we read the name
       F       G             C
In the paper before we moved in
C
After we did our friends all asked
        F                       G7
If that house was lonesome back then

[Chorus]
Am                   Em
We were so young our dreams were so new
             F                         Dm   D
There's just no way that we could have known
    F     G       C              F
The irony of that place where we loved
     G                     C
That house on old lonesome road

[Bridge]
     F                                C
It's only shingles and shutters and a case of worn out stairs
A#7              F                 C
Just like my old heart they need repair
F              G            C                       F
Maybe I should sell it yeah maybe that would be the best
D7                                      Dm      F      G
Maybe then someone else could find some love at that address

[Verse 3]
C
I used to love that old house so much
F           G         C
Back before she went away
C
Now everything there is just gathering dust
         F                        G7
I should clean it up if I'm gonna stay

[Chorus]
      Am                  Em
But I don't have too much time anymore
        F               D7
I'm too busy talking to ghosts
      F       G  C             F
Cause her memory keeps me company
        G                     C
In that house on old lonesome road

[Bridge]
     F                                C
It's only shingles and shutters and a case of worn out stairs
A#7              F                 C
Just like my old heart they need repair
F              G            C                       F
Maybe I should sell it yeah maybe that would be the best
D7                                      Dm      F      G
Maybe then someone else could find some love at that address

[Outro]
C                             G
Every night it's the same old grind
  F             G      C
I leave work at five-o-five
C
Been doing my best to forget about her
          F          G         C
But she's driving me out of my mind
