INTRO 
 
 
 
E                        A 
Well I heard you've been wonderin', 
E                 A 
 How I'm gettin' along. 
E                          A 
 I guess you think I can't make it  
B  
 With you gone. 
E                          A  
 Well I don't want you to worry, 
E                    A 
 Don't you lose any sleep, 
      E                             A 
But a man called long distance this mornin', 
             B         
Said they're thinkin' bout puttin' me; 
 
 
 
                E     A 
On the cover of USA Today, 
   E                      A          
A story of heartbreak and pain.

E                          A 
 Well I don't sleep in the night time, 
E                       A   
Darkness reminds me of you. 
  E                            A 
I lost eight pounds since last Tuesday, 
          B 
But I can stand to lose a few. 
E                    A 
 I don't believe I'm too bad, 
E                   A 
 People say I look fine. 
    E                          A 
The man from the papers seems happy, 
         B 
Says I'm bigger than the latest crime.

 So if you're concerned and troubled,

 Think you're hurtin' me? 
          E                                      A 
Don't you worry, 'cause this little thing called losin' you 
           B         
Has made a big man out of me. 
 
 
 
                    E     A
