Em                           D 
   There's a window, by the window, there's a plant 
A                            Em 
   Next to the plant sits my calico cat 
                             D 
Close to the cat, there's a sofa where I lay 
A                               Em 
   Life stands still while the hours tick away 
                               D 
Right by the sofa, there's a phone that never rings 
A                                Em 
   Next to the phone, there's my bird that never sings 
                           D 
Above the bird, there's a picture on the wall 
A                         Em 
   One of me and you, oh, why don't you call? 


G                            D 
   I'm next to nothing when I'm not next to you 
A                                 Em 
   Anything that's close to me is next to lonesome too 
G                    D 
   Paint the picture every shade of blue 
A                            Em 
   I'm next to nothing when I'm not next to you 


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


G                            D 
   I'm next to nothing when I'm not next to you 
A                                 Em 
   Anything that's close to me is next to lonesome too 
G                    D 
   Paint the picture every shade of blue 
A                            Em 
   I'm next to nothing when I'm not next to you

Em                           D 
   There's a window, by the window, there's a plant 
A                            Em 
   Next to the plant sits my calico cat 
                             D 
Close to the cat, there's a sofa where I lay 
A                               Em 
   Life stands still while the hours tick away
