Capo 3
Verse 1
[Em] [B]
2am where do I begin,
[C] [G] [B]
Crying off my face again.
[Em] [B]
The silent sound of loneliness
[C] [G] [B]
Wants to follow me to bed.
Pre-Chorus
[C] [D] [G] [Em]
I'm a ghost of a girl that I want to be most.
[C] [D] [B]
I'm the shell of a girl that I used to know well.
Chorus
[Em] [B]
Dancing slowly in an empty room
[C] [G] [B]
Can the lonely take the place of you?
[Em] [B]
I sing myself a quiet lullaby
[C] [G]
Let you go and let the lonely in
[B]
To take my heart again
Verse 2
[Em] [B]
Too afraid to go inside
[C] [G] [B]
For the pain of one more loveless night.
[Em] [B]
But the loneliness will stay with me
[C] [G] [B]
And hold me til I fall asleep.
Pre-Chorus
[C] [D] [G] [Em]
I'm a ghost of a girl that I want to be most.
[C] [D] [B]
I'm the shell of a girl that I used to know well.
Chorus
[Em] [B]
Dancing slowly in an empty room
[C] [G] [B]
Can the lonely take the place of you?
[Em] [B]
I sing myself a quiet lullaby
[C] [G]
Let you go and let the lonely in
[B]
To take my heart again
Bridge
[Em] [D] [G] [D] [Em]
Broken pieces of
[Em] [D] [G] [D] [Am] [G]
A barely breathing story
[Em] [D] [G] [D] [C]
Where there once was love
[Em] [D] [G] [D] [Am] [B] [B7]
Now there's only me and the lonely.
Chorus
[Em] [B]
Dancing slowly in an empty room
[C] [G] [B]
Can the lonely take the place of you?
[Em] [B]
I sing myself a quiet lullaby
[C] [G]
Let you go and let the lonely in
[B]
To take my heart again
