CHRISTINA PERRI ~ THE LONELY
BY ~ FLOWAY ~
NB! WHEN USE "Am" you use Am - first finger. [OK note]
Verse
[Em] [Bm]
2am where do I begin,
[C] [G] [Am] [check top]
Crying off my face again.
[Em] [Bm]
The silent sound of loneliness
[C] [G] [Am] [check top]
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] [Em] [keep holding Em]
I'm the shell of a girl that I used to know well.
Chorus
[Em] [Bm]
Dancing slowly in an empty room
[C] [G] [Am] [check top]
Can the lonely take the place of you?
[Em] [Bm]
I sing myself a quiet lullaby
[C] [G]
Let you go and let the lonely in
[Am]
To take my heart again
[Em] [Bm]
Too afraid to go inside
[C] [G] [Am] [check top]
For the pain of one more loveless night.
[Em] [Bm]
But the loneliness will stay with me
[C] [G] [Am] [check top]
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] [Em] [keep holding Em]
I'm the shell of a girl that I used to know well.
Chorus
[Em] [Bm]
Dancing slowly in an empty room,
[C] [G] [Am] [check top]
Can the lonely take the place of you?
[Em] [Bm]
I sing myself a quiet lullaby.
[C] [G]
Let you go and let the lonely in
[Am]
To take my heart again.
Bridge
[G] [Em]
Broken pieces of
[G] [C]
A barely breathing story
[G] [Em]
Where there once was love
[G] [Em] [Bm]
Now there's only me and the lonely.
Chorus
[Em] [Bm]
Dancing slowly in an empty room,
[C] [G] [Am] [check top]
Can the lonely take the place of you?
[Em] [Bm]
I sing myself a quiet lullaby.
[C] [G]
Let you go and let the lonely in
[Am]
To take my heart again.
