Lonely Universe
[intro]
  C   E   Amx2
[verse]
CYour hands were Ecold
Your voice was Amshaky
COne morning not too Elong agAmo
CAnd at the Etime I was only a Amchild
CAbout to Elose my childlike Ammind
The way you Dsus2touched my hands
Like you Cnever Ghad Ambefore
It wasn't you Ganymore  Am  G  
[verse]
CI called for my Ebrothers
I called for my Amsisters
CBut there was nothing Eleft for them to Amdo
And so I Dsus2watched from far away
As the CambulGances Amcame
And started dressing for Gschool  Am  G  
[chorus]
CGood Gbye Dmsweet Ammother Gearth
CWith Gout you Dmnow I'm a AmLonely GUniverse
You won't Dsus2always understand
When you’ve Ctruly Gloved someAmone
Until after they’ve Ggone  Am  G  
[verse]
CThis time of Eyear the nights Amfall longer
CSo grow a spine or Ecatch Amcold
CThe winter Emonths they do make you feeAml stronger
CBut in the Eend it's all getting Amold
And you won't Dsus2always be walking the safCest GstreAmets
But you can find your way Ghome  Am  G  
[verse]
CIf Gyou have DmimagAmined your way Gback
CThen Gmy dear you’re Dmmore thaAmn halfway Gthere
And you might Dsus2only possess
What you've Ccarried Gon your Amback
But you've always been Gfree
Now it's Amtime to bGelieve
[verse]
CTime to Ggive up thaDmt unforgiving acAmt of altogetherGness
And stCart lGiving out youDmr oldest Amchildhood Gdreams
Well, Closing your Gminds it ain’Dmt half as Ambad as it Gseems
And if you Dsus2would take the risk
Well, it Cmight be Gworth your Amtime
It's only your Glife
It's Amonly going Gby
[chorus]
CGoodGbye Dmsweet Ammother Gearth
CWithGout you Dmnow I'm a AmLonely GUniverse
You won’t Dsus2always understand
When you’ve Ctruly Gloved some Amone
Until after they’vGe gone   Am  G

Lonely Universe

[intro]

C E Am

[verse]

C E

Your hands were cold

Your voice was shaky

C E Am

One morning not too long ago

C E Am

And at the time I was only a child

C E Am

About to lose my childlike mind

Dsus2

The way you touched my hands

C G Am

Like you never had before

G Am G

It wasn't you anymore

[verse]

C E

I called for my brothers

I called for my sisters

C E Am

But there was nothing left for them to do

Dsus2

And so I watched from far away

C G Am

As the ambulances came

G Am G

And started dressing for school

[chorus]

C G Dm Am G

Good bye sweet mother earth

C G Dm Am G

With out you now I'm a Lonely Universe

Dsus2

You won't always understand

C G Am

When you’ve truly loved someone

G Am G

Until after they’ve gone

[verse]

C E Am

This time of year the nights fall longer

C E Am

So grow a spine or catch cold

C E Am

The winter months they do make you feel stronger

C E Am

But in the end it's all getting old

Dsus2 C G Am

And you won't always be walking the safest streets

G Am G

But you can find your way home

[verse]

C G Dm Am G

If you have imagined your way back

C G Dm Am G

Then my dear you’re more than halfway there

Dsus2

And you might only possess

C G Am

What you've carried on your back

But you've always been free

Am G

Now it's time to believe

[verse]

C G Dm Am G

Time to give up that unforgiving act of altogetherness

C G Dm Am G

And start living out your oldest childhood dreams

C G Dm Am G

Well, losing your minds it ain’t half as bad as it seems

Dsus2

And if you would take the risk

C G Am

Well, it might be worth your time

It's only your life

Am G

It's only going by

[chorus]

C G Dm Am G

Goodbye sweet mother earth

C G Dm Am G

Without you now I'm a Lonely Universe

Dsus2

You won’t always understand

C G Am

When you’ve truly loved some one

G Am G

Until after they’ve gone
