"I was saddened when you questioned me
        about why I was up so late last night...
        Maybe I was a little disappointed when
        you doubted that it was you being
        on my mind that kept me up...(sigh!)...
        You should see how many nights I wake up
        in the middle of my sleep and reach out for you...
        I miss you even in my dreams..."

         

        NOBODY KNOWS 
        by Tony Rich Project

         

        Intro
        (SPOKEN):
        Wish I'd told her how I felt, 
        then maybe she'd be here right now, but 
        instead... 
        
        (Sing)
        F                        C/E
        I pretended I'm glad you went away
        Dm7                                 C
        These four walls closing more every day
                      Bb                         Bb/C                          F
        And I'm dyin' inside , and nobody knows it but me
                                 C/E
        Like a clown I put on a show
        Dm7                                C
        The pain is real even if nobody knows
                      Bb                           Bb/C                          F
        And I'm crying inside , and nobody knows it but me
        Dm7                             C
        Why didn't I say -- the things I needed to say?
        Bb                           C
        How could I let my angel get away?
                       Dm7                   C
        Now my world is just -- a tumblin' down
        Bb
        I can say it so clearly , but your nowhere around
        
        (chorus)
        F                                           C/E
        The nights are lonely , the days are so sad. --And
        Dm7                                 C
        I just keep thinkin' about love that we had
                      Bb                         Bb/C
        And I'm missin' you , and nobody knows it but me
        
        
        F                                      C/E
        I carry a smile when I'm broken in two
                Dm7                        C
        And I'm nobody without someone like you
              Bb                                Bb/C
        I'm tremblin' inside , And nobodys knows it but me
        F                            C/E
        I lie awake , It's a quarter past three
              Dm7                            C
        I'm screamin' at night if I thought you'd hear me                  
        F              Bb                                   Bb/C
        Yeah , my heart is calling you and nobody knows it but me
        Dm7                                                C
        How blue could I get? You could ask my heart
               Bb                                            C
        But like a jigsaw puzzle it's been torn all apart
                    Dm7                        C
        Million words couldn't say just how I feel
                        Bb
        A million years from now you know I'll be lovin' you still 
        
        (chorus)
        
        F                                        C/E
        Tomorrow mornin'  , I'm hittin' the dusty road
                     Dm7                        C
        Gonna find you wherever , ever you might go                         
        F                         Bb                              Bb/C
        And I'm gonna unload my heart and hope you come back to me
        (sad when the nights are lonely)            
        
        (chorus)
