Intro
[Cmaj7] [D] [Cmaj7] [D]
Verse 1
[Cmaj7] [D]
She said, "Only the lonely take the last seat at the bar
[Cmaj7] [Bm]
Only the lonely know every town's song by heart"
[Cmaj7]
I said, "It takes one to know one, don't you think?
[D]
And it looks like lonely's 'bout to buy you a drink"
Verse 2
[Cmaj7] [D]
We were laughin' and swayin' with our backs turned to the crowd
[Cmaj7] [D]
Talked about loss 'til we made our way to found
[Cmaj7]
We both knew it'd been too long
[D]
Since we held on
Chorus
[Am7] [D] [Gmaj7]
Like only the lone, the lonely can
[Am7] [D7] [Gmaj7]
Like we're never gonna get this feelin' again
[Am7] [D]
Like we're chasin' down somethin' we'll never get back
[Gmaj7] [E7]
And we both knew it would never last
[Am7]
Baby, just take my hand
[D] [Cmaj7]
Let me hold you like only the lonely can
Interlude

Verse 3
[Cmaj7] [D]
Didn't ask any questions, didn't bother with the table talk
[Cmaj7] [D]
She just gave me those eyes and asked me where I parked
[Cmaj7]
Neither of us had the heart for forever
[D]
We were just tryna stay out of the weather
Chorus
[Am7] [D] [Gmaj7]
Like only the lone, the lonely can
[Am7] [D7] [Gmaj7]
Like we're never gonna get this feelin' again
[Am7] [D]
Like we're chasin' down somethin' we'll never get back
[Gmaj7] [E7]
And we both knew it would never last
[Am7]
Baby, just take my hand
[D] [Emaj7]
Let me hold you like only the lonely can

Like we're chasin' down somethin' we'll never get back
[Gmaj7] [E7]
