Too Lonely Too Long
Recorded by Mel Tillis
Written by Jim Owens

C                    F
Go on look down your righteous nose at me
G7                                                    C
But you've made me everything that I've turned out to be
                                       F
In very few words I can tell you where everything went wrong
G7                               C
Two arms two lips too lonely too long

C7                   F
Two arms that almost died from loneliness
    D7                   G7
Two lips that cried from hunger for your kiss
C                           F
For too many empty nights I laid awake till dawn 
G7                               C
Two arms two lips too lonely too long

                                       F
You'll never know how much it hurts to know you've never tried
G7                                          C
To wake all over for your touch and then be denied
                                       F
With other arms were offered me it was easy to go wrong
G7                               C
Two arms two lips too lonely too long

Repeat #2

G7                               C
Two arms two lips too lonely too long
