Mel O'Joe

Intro	A7	D	A7

Guitar intro

	D	D7
I c	ry myself to	sleep each night

Wishing I could hold you tight

	D	A7
Life	seems so empty since you went a	way

	D	D7
And the	pillow where you	lay your head

	G
Now h	olds my empty tears instead

	A7
And it	keeps right on a-hurtin'

	D
Since you're	gone

	A7	G
It	keeps right on a'hurtin every	minute of the day

	A7	G	D
Every	hour you're away I feel so	lone	ly

	D7	G
And I can't help it, I don't	think I can go	on

	A7	D
And it	keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're	gone

Interlude - same as intro

	D	D7
They	say a man ain't su	pposed to cry

	G
But w	hen I see you passing by

	D	A7
My h	eart breaks down and cries a million	tears

	D	D7
The	pillow where you l	ay your head

	G
Now	holds my empty tears instead

	A7	D
And it	keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're	gone

	A7	G
It	keeps right on a'hurtin every	minute of the day

	A7	G	D
Every	hour you're away I feel so l	onel	y

	D7	G
And I can't help it, I don't	think I can go	on

	A7	D
And it	keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're	gone

	A7	D
Yes, i	t keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're	gone
