[Intro 1]
[Em][A][Em][D][G][D][C#dim][Em]

[Verse 1]
There's a window, by [D]the win
dow there's a plant
[A]Next to the plant sits my [Em]calico cat
Close to the cat there's a so[D]fa where I lay
[A]Life stands still while
[Em]the hours tick [A]away

[Verse 2]
[Em]Right by the sofa there's
[D]a phone that never rings
[A]Next to the phone there's a
[Em]bird that never sings
Above the bird there's a
[D]picture on the [A]wall
One of me and you,
oh [Em]why don't you call
[D]

[Verse 3]
[G]
I'm next to nothin' when [D]I'm
not next to [A]you
Anything that's close to me is
[Em]nex t to lonesome [D]too[G]
Paint the picture [D]every shade of [A]blue
I'm next to nothin' when [Em]I'm
not next to you
[A]

[Verse 4]
[Em]
There's a hallway,
down the [D]hallway there's a [A]door
Behind the door there's a bed where
[Em]I don't sleep no more
Next to the bed,
there's [D]a table and a [A]note
On the note are the [Em]hurtin'
words you wrote
Next to I'm sorry,
you [D]wrote the words goodbye
[A]Next thing I felt were
[Em]the tears in my eye[D]s[G]

[Verse 5]
I'm next [G]to nothin' when [D]I'm
not next to [A]you
Anything that's close to me is
[Em]nex t to lonesome [D]too[G]
Paint the picture [D]every shade of [A]blue
I'm next to nothin' when [Em]I'm not next to y[D]ou
