Written by: Roxie Dean & Robin Lee Bruce
Performed by: Tracy Lawrence
Album: Lessons Learned
Transcribed by Mark Rape and Keith Reding
Capo 2
Note: If you plan an A barre chord instead of the G (Capo 2),
you can more easily play the electric guitar fills that are used
in the intro and between verses.
Intro
[G] [C] [G] [C]
There's a [G]red brick in a white wall
Somebody's [C]brush forgot to paint
So it sits there all alone
Like a [G]hopeful sinner
Who finally goes to church
She don't [C]sit among the Christians
'Cause she questions her own worth
Oh she's [Am]lonel[C]y
Chorus:
[C]Lonely like the way you left me
[C]Nothing I know's gonna get me
[G]through losing you
The [C]worst of love's analogies
Are tangled up inside of me
But the [Am]only one that brings
me to my [D]knees
Is [G]lone[C]ly[G][C]
(Continue same chords as above)
Verse 2
There's a man in his own prison
With a crime nobody knows
He has sentenced himself to life
With no pardon or parole
Oh he's lonely
Repeat Chorus/Solo/Repeat chorus
