G
Now my room has got two windows but
the sunshine never comes through
You know it's always dark and dreary
since I broke off, baby, with you

Chorus:
             C
I live on a lonely avenue
My little girl wouldn't say, "I do"
         G
Well, I feel so sad and blue
And it's all because of you
          D
I could cry, I could cry, i could cry
                     C
Because I live on a lonely avenue, lonely avenue

(Now my) covers they feel like lead
and my pillow it feels like stone
Well, I've tossed and turned so ev'ry night,
I'm not used to being alone

Chorus

Now I've been so sad and lonesome
since you've left this town
If I could beg or borrow the money, child,
I would be a highway bound

Chorus
