The Lonely

Gm           D
2am where do I begin
Eb            Bb    D7
Crying off my face again
Gm                  D
The silent sound of loneliness
Eb              Bb    F
Wants to follow me to bed

[Pre-Chorus]

      Eb         F           Bb  
I'm a ghost of a girl that I want
        Gm
 to be most
        Eb         F           D7
I'm the shell of a girl that I used 
to know well

[Chorus]

Gm                   D
Dancing slowly in an empty room
Eb                       Bb      
Can the lonely take the place of 
D7
you?
  Gm                  D
I sing myself a quiet lullaby
Eb                     Bb
Let you go and let the lonely in
           D7
To take my heart again

Continues after the ad
Gm            D
Too afraid to go inside
Eb                        Bb      
For the pain of one more loveless 
D7
night
Gm                      D
But the loneliness will stay with me
Eb                 Bb    F
And hold me til I fall asleep

[Pre-Chorus]

      Eb          F           Bb 
I'm a ghost of a girl that I want
         Gm
 to be most
        Eb          F          D7
I'm the shell of a girl that I used 
to know well

[Chorus]

Gm                   D
Dancing slowly in an empty room
Eb                      Bb       
Can the lonely take the place of 
D7
you?
Gm                    D
I sing myself a quiet lullaby
Eb                      Bb
Let you go and let the lonely in
           D7
To take my heart again

[Bridge]

Bb             Gm
Broken pieces of
Bb                  Eb
A barely breathing story
Bb                    Gm
Where there once was love
Bb                Gm        D7
Now there's only me and the lonely

[Chorus]

Gm                   D
Dancing slowly in an empty room
Eb                      Bb       
Can the lonely take the place of 
D7
you?
Gm                    D
I sing myself a quiet lullaby
Eb                      Bb
Let you go and let the lonely in
           D
To take my heart again
