Lonely Boy

Intro: E D D A x7
       E D D B

A
I ain’t gonna leave the building
Just lie here and stare at the 
ceiling
There’s nothing out there that can 
give me no healing
And right now I’m the only one that 
can hurt my feelings

G   D                 A
I’m staying inside today
G  D        A
I’m hiding away
        E7
Oh yeah!

A
Let me tell you how it goes here in 
the big city
There ain’t no mercy and there ain’t
 no pity
And everywhere you turn there are 
hundreds of humans
All opening the door saying “Hello, 
Newman”

A
And hearing people hearing 
themselves talk
I tell you those are fingernails 
where there should've been chalk
I heard this one guy tell this other
 one to suck his cock
And he was the richest, smartest guy
 on the block

G   D             A
Oh, I, leave me alone
G D          A
I, leave me alone
E7
Oh no no no no no

E        D            D7  A
‘Cause I just want to be alone
E        D              D7  A
So don’t call me on the telephone
E          D             
Why in the world would I pay 
D7  A
T-Mobile
E                    D            
When every day’s the same, feeling
 D7  A
 antisocial
E                  D             
I’m minding my own business like 
    D7  A
I’m supposed to
E             D             D7     
E&
So when I get home no one's coming 
over
Shot down dead red rover, red rover,
 yeah!

[Solo] (a braver man than I can tab 
this part)(same as intro)

A
People try to confuse me
And people try to abuse me
And people try to frustrate me
And people try to castrate me

A
Uh-huh and people messing with my 
mental health
I tell you they just do it cause 
they hate themselves
And I've been walking around I'm 
try'na love myself
And I don't wanna talk to anyone 
else

G         D             A
You know, I, leave me alone
G D          A
I, leave me alone
  E7
Leave me alone

E      D       D7 A
I just want to be alone
E             D                 
I don't wanna drown amongst the 
D7        A
droves of drones
E             D             D7   
I don't wanna hear that I'm what I 
 A
own, oh no
E             D         D7    A
I don't wanna feel my Y-chromosome
E                D         D7   
So don't look at me like I ain't
      A
 full grown or
E       D       D7    E
Welcome to the terror dome
Welcome to Hell
Welcome home

Lonely Boy coming down the street, 
better get out the way
The first person that he meets is 
                      E D D7 A
probably going to pay I'd say 
definitely
He woke up feeling like a loser, now
                    E D D7 A
 he's itching to win
           E D D7 A             
Yeah he did it yesterday, now 
                 E
he's gonna do it again
   E D D7 A          E D D7 A
Hey,       stay away
He hates,  to be awake
Stay away, he doesn't wanna hurt you
Stay away, he doesn't wanna hurt you
