[Ab]I met a man late downtown
The rain was softly falling down
Over me
He said "I believe in Jesus Christ
But I still don't know my wrongs and my rights
In this [Bbm]lonely life.
This l[Eb]onely life's
Not worth living at [Ab]all
Not worth living at a[C#]ll"
So I g[Bbm]ave him my last cigarette
[Eb]
[And] [said]
I said "This w[E]orld a[Fm]in't s[F#]een the [Gm]best of you[Ab], yet"
[Ab]I've had my friends and had my foes
I've cut some corners and God only knows
I've tried my best
(I tried my best)
I've loved and lost and paid the cost
I faced my fears but still I'm lost
PRE-CHORUS
In this [Bbm]lonely night
This lo[Eb]nely night
When I went home wit[Ab]hout you
Oh I went home with[C#]out you
CHORUS
Then I r[Bbm]ang you on the telephone
And l[Eb]eft a message at the tone
I said "This w[E]orld [Fm]ain't [F#]seen the [Gm]best of you [Ab]yet!"
I said "This w[E]orld [Fm]ain't s[F#]een the [Gm]best of you y[Ab]et!"
VERSE
[Ab]When I got home and sat alone
The darkness really set the tone
Over me
I know, I know, it's hard to tell
The things I find when I feel like hell
PRE-CHORUS
In this [Bbm]lonely light
This [Eb]lonely light
Is fading with[Ab]out you
Always fading witho[C#]ut you
CHORUS
And so I r[Bbm]ang you on the telephone
And left a m[Eb]essage at the tone
I said "This wo[E]rld a[Fm]in't s[F#]een the [Gm]best of you [Ab]yet!"
I said "This wo[E]rld a[Fm]in't s[F#]een the b[Gm]est of you y[Ab]et!"
I said "This wo[E]rld a[Fm]in't se[F#]en the best of you
[E]World [Fm]ain't s[F#]een the best of you
[E]World [Fm]ain't s[F#]een the b[Gm]est of you y[Abm]et!"
