The Lonely

Em           Bm
2am where do I begin,
C             G     Am [check top]
Crying off my face again.
Em                  Bm
The silent sound of loneliness
C               G     Am [check top]
Wants to follow me to bed.

[Pre-Chorus]

      C          D           G          Em
I'm a ghost of a girl that I want to be most.
        C          D           Em [keep holding Em]
I'm the shell of a girl that I used to know well.

[Chorus]

Em                   Bm
Dancing slowly in an empty room
C                       G        Am [check top]
Can the lonely take the place of you?
  Em                  Bm
I sing myself a quiet lullaby
C                      G
Let you go and let the lonely in
           Am
To take my heart again

Em            Bm
Too afraid to go inside
C                        G        Am [check top]
For the pain of one more loveless night.
Em                      Bm
But the loneliness will stay with me
C                 G    Am [check top]
And hold me til I fall asleep.

[Pre-Chorus]

      C          D           G          Em
I'm a ghost of a girl that I want to be most.
        C          D           Em [keep holding Em]
I'm the shell of a girl that I used to know well.

[Chorus]

Em                   Bm
Dancing slowly in an empty room,
C                       G        Am [check top]
Can the lonely take the place of you?
Em                    Bm
I sing myself a quiet lullaby.
C                      G
Let you go and let the lonely in
           Am
To take my heart again.

[Bridge]

G             Em
Broken pieces of
G                  C
A barely breathing story
G                    Em
Where there once was love
G                Em         Bm
Now there's only me and the lonely.

[Chorus]

Em                   Bm
Dancing slowly in an empty room,
C                       G        Am [check top]
Can the lonely take the place of you?
Em                    Bm
I sing myself a quiet lullaby.
C                      G
Let you go and let the lonely in
           Am
To take my heart again.
