[Intro]

G


[Verse 1]

   G
We walked the loneliest mile
   Em
We smiled without any style
   C
We kiss altogether wrong
     G
No intention


[Verse 2]

   G
We lied about each others drinks
   Em
We lived without each other thinkin'
     C
What anyone would do
        G
Without me and you


[Chorus]

            D
It's like I told you
C                   G
Only the lonely can play


[Verse 3]

   G
So hold on here we go
Em
Hold on to nothin' we know
  C                     G
I feel so lonely way up here


[Verse 4]

    G
You mention the time we were together
Em                  C
So long ago, well I don't remember
                      G
All I know is that it makes me feel good now


[Chorus]

            D
It's like I told you
C                   G
Only the lonely can play
         D
Only the lonely
C                   G
Only the lonely can play

            D
It's like I told you
C                   G
Only the lonely can play
