Gone Again
R. Cain 2008
(D) You only come (G) see you when you’re (A7) lonely
(G) And I'm lucky if its (A7) for a night or (D) two
(D) The phone will ring (G) but I don’t want to (A7) answer
(G) For fear of hearing (A7) you say that we’re (D) through
CH:
(G) I always (A7) fear the (D) dawn
(G) When I (A7) hold you in my (D) arms
(G) For I know (A7) when I wake (D) up
you’ll be (G) gone, long (A7) gone, gone again (D)
(D) I met your folks though (G) you said you were (A7) nervous
(G) About your path in life that you (A7) haven’t lived at (D) all
(D) We started young but (G) I don’t think that (A7) matters
(G) My love for you has been (A7) solid all (D) along
CH
(D) Moving on is (G) something we’ve (A7) considered
(G) But this small town’s kind of (A7) short on lonely (D) hearts
(D) I’m not saying that the (G)…best of (A7) reasons
(G) When I’m writing up a (A7) list that’s where I (D) start

These Five Strings
(R. Cain 2008) Capo 1
(D) These five strings, those white (C) lines, and this old (D) bottle
Put a lot of miles (C) between your heart and (D) mine
Taking those (C) wrong turns on the (A) back roads leading (G) nowhere
It only (C) serves to (A) drive me far (D) away
These five strings those white lines and this old bottle
Hold me tighter than those rusty prison chains
It’s hard to be a man while I’m weight down by these shackles
I know you tried but you can’t set me free
Chorus
(Em) When you wake up tomorrow (D)
Take our picture off the wall
Give away my clothes and records
(C) Forget my name and (A) pray that I stay (D) gone
These five strings those white lines and this old bottle
Help pass the time and kill those memories
Of the lies I told, your nights alone and my heavy way of living
May the next in line not be a bit like me
Ch.

Standing in the Shadows
(R. Cain)
(A) Here I stand
(C) A broken man
(D) I should have seen it coming long ago
(A) Staying out
(C) And running’ round
(D) I guess I’ve known it was time to go
(A) Now I can see
(C) You’re love for me
(D) Was nothing but a sympathetic show
(A) He was there
(C) So straight and fair
(D) Just waiting in the shadows
(E) And…
CH
(E) I see
(D)That he’s a better man than (G) me
(E) I know
(D) That you’ve got places (G) to go
(E) And I find
(D) That you’ve wasted all this (G) time,
(C) Trying to make things (G) right,
(C) Trying not to (G) fight
(C) I hate to think of the man that I’ve (D) become
(A) I never took
(C) The time to I say
(D) I hope you see some brighter days
(A) But I believe
(C) You’ll find relief
(D) From the pain that you endured
(A) What could have been
(C) Had I been strong
(D) Is a love that never died.
Here I am
A broken man
Now standing in the shadows (E)

Anytown
(R.Cain) 2008
(G) Anytown is (C) where, (D)
(C) I was born and (G) raised
Any town is where
My heart will always be
Anytown is where
I feel that I belong
Anytown is where
They’re gonna lay me (E#m) down
(C) I grew up on the south side just off 6th and (G) main
(C) I had my first kiss where, they used to run the (G) train
And houses on the old ranch, where Anyone’s cattle used to roam
But I guess that I can’t blame them, it’s a nice place to call (D) home
I moved to the city, when I finally turned eighteen
But bright lights and the night life just didn’t fit with me
Surrounded by a million souls, I never felt more alone
And after ten long years of missing you, I finally came back home
I heard that you had been doing well, but you didn’t wear a ring
And I said ‘Will you marry me’ where they used to run the train
We moved out to the old ranch, where the cattle used to roam
I love here in Anytown, Hell it’s the place I call home

The Only One
(R. Cain 2008)
(D) As I sit here in this lonely room
(D) These pictures in my mind
(C) Dreaming About the (G) life I’d like to (D) find
(D) but it brings me consolation
(D) dries these teardrops from my eyes
(C) just to know, (G) I’m not the only (D) one.
CH
(G) That haunts these (C) smoky bar rooms late at (D) night
(G) And walks the streets (C) until the morning (D) light
(G) Wishing for a (C) hand to hold
(G) Some comfort from this (C) bitter cold
(G) Just to know, I’m (C) not the only (D) one
(D) I know you’re out there some where
(D) Lonesome just like me
(C) Looking for the man (G) that I can (D) be
(D) I see them everywhere I go
(D) Sitting all alone
(C) It’s how I know, (G) I’m not the only (D) one.

Billy
R. Cain
(A) Billy was a strong man, you could (C) tell by his rugged (D) hands and his old (A) tattoos
(A) 20 years he worked the mill (C) but it never was (D) enough when the bills came (A) due
Billy was good man, for his family’s sake he always did come through
Billy was an honest man, but it’s hard to say what a desperate man will do
CH
(E) So it should come as no (A) surprised
(E) The things a desperate man will (A) try
(E) When the future of his (D) family’s on the (A) line
Well I bet you’d do the same
Risk a number for your name
If you had the chance to see that sick girl smile
Billy checked his watch again but he knew the armored truck came in at four
When the time came he was ready, with a shotgun he kicked open the door
“Just give up the money, get down now and relax there on the floor”
He took what he could carry, just enough to buy his little girl a cure
Billy is a lonely man, from town to town he roams with out a home
Fifteen years of running, but it’s been worth every mile to see her grown
He writes her every Sunday from a somewhere off the map and all alone
Billy was a good man, and he gave her life at the high cost of his own

Trouble
(R. Cain 2007)
(E) My Momma didn’t name me trouble
(A) But it sure did find my life
(C) And fit my (E) style
(E) I’ve always had a taste for danger
(A) I my talk to the Devil
(C) But I don’t take his (E) advice
CH
(A) I maybe down, I maybe out
I maybe something your momma warned (E) about
(A) I maybe crude, I maybe rude
I maybe someone, just for (E) you
I may flirt with the dice and ponies
And when pay day comes around
I’ll post my bail
I’ve always had a taste for whiskey
I may swim in the bottle
I don’t plan to drown

Love's on My Mind
R. Cain 2008
This goes against everything I believe
But I'm going to put it on the line
Last time I saw you, I was at the business
End of your forty five
Baby can you find it in yourself, to take me back this time
Another Chance I don't deserve, but this time I'm going to do you right
Your love's the only thing that's ever, on my mind
Where's this thing going I don't know
But our loves not a passing thing
I'll put down the bottle, lay off the throttle
Get off this crazy train
