🎶 The Lonely

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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