Ill Take Lonely Tonight

G Em G Em Am C


[Verse 1]
G         Em             G
I'll take lonely tonight
     Em       G
Your offer is kind
    Em        G
And I must confess
     Em          Am
That I find your casual caresses
    Am
And that pretty dress
       C
Pretty hard to resist

    Am
And Christ what a night
        Am
I think you're pretty high
       C
I know I'm pretty pissed


[Verse 2]
    G         Em             G
But I'll take lonely tonight
       Em        G
Though I'm not denying
 Em          G
I hate being alone

Em         Am
Even so, I know regret in the making
                    C              
You're one of those others I swore 
       Cmaj7
I'd forsake
      Am
And although this extraction is 
taking
    C
A great act of will


[Chorus 1]
Am
I got a girl
Continúa después del anuncio
       Am
Has my heart in a house
    G
On a hill

               Am
So though I am hungry and tempted
    Am                   C
I'm sorry, I'm not gonna bite
                       G Em G Em
I'm gonna take lonely


[Verse 3]
G         Em             G
I'll take lonely tonight
       Em       G
Though I know I might
          Em       G
Well have future regrets
     Em       Am
That I didn't more often take up 
these chances
                 C
For what is life for
       C
But to shag, drink and dance
             Am
And teenager me would be screaming 
his pants off
        C
Begging me to stay


[Chorus 2]
       Am
But my girl has my heart
     Am               G
In a house half a planet away
               Am
And I'd rather murder
     Am
Than hurt her
   Am                        C
So sorry, though it feels so right
                      G        D
I'm gonna take lonely tonight


[Bridge]
  Em
Odysseus wasn't strong enough
   D
To endure the sirens' song
      C
So he made the sailors tie him to a 
mast
                Em
And Jesus spent forty days and forty
 nights
   D
He stood his ground and fought his 
fight
    C
The Devil tried, but couldn't break 
his fast

           D
If this is true
The Devil should have offered him 
C
you

C
God damn it


[Verse 4]
G         Em              G
I'll take lonely tonight
   Em             G        Em    
In my three point five star 
      G
boutique hotel
      Em           Am
Where I will spend 25 bucks
                            C
On mini bar snacks and pass out on 
my phone
    Am
And wake in 4 hours or so
                         C
Soaked in relief to find I am alone
     Am
With only the wrappers of Pringles 
and Snickers
    C
For which to atone
C
Blissfully lonely
