[Intro]
G C G C
[Verse 1]
GI'm a raw nerve in the Csunlight
GAfter two weeks in the Cdark
GIf you've gotta tell me you're not Cusing
GIt's probably 'cause you Care
[Pre-Chorus]
EmI saw you there
Just a Gblock off to see your Amrowhome
On an Cempty street where the Emothers have been torn Gdown
And you're the last one Cstanding
[Chorus 1]
It must get lonelyG  C  
It must get lonelyG  C  
[Verse 2]
GWhen the grace starts to swallow Cgrey
Where the sky meets the Irish Gsea
Like a suit that's been to too many Cfunerals
And starts fraying at the Gseams
I saw a bag of clemenCtines split right open on an English Gstreet
And the contrast made me Cfeel so goddamn dizzy
[Pre-Chorus]
EmI saw you there
Just a Gblock off to see your Amrowhome
On an Cempty street where the Emothers have been torn Gdown
And you're the last one Cstanding
[Bridge 1]
AmIt must get obvious eEmnough that I'm not Cever gonna change
AmIt must get obvious eEmnough, I'm the one Cwho staysG  
[Chorus 2]
But it must get lonelyG  C  
It must Amget lGonely
But it must get lonelyG  C  
But it must Amget lGonely
[Verse 3]
GI'm a Dspecter Gin the Cdim light on the flowers by the grave
GIn the DMontmartre in CParis
CWhere the crows seem to know my Gname
And they left Dfootprints Gin the Csnow
CAlong the fence on Palmer GStreet
CigaDrette butts on the Cheadstones
CThat you left for me
[Pre-Chorus]
EmI saw you there
Just a Gblock off to see your Amrowhome
On an Cempty street where the Emothers have been torn Gdown
And you're the last one Cstanding
[Bridge 2]
AmIt must get obvious eEmnough that I'm not Cever gonna change
AmIt must get obvious eEmnough, I'm the one Cwho stays
AmIt must get obvious eEmnough that you're not Cever gonna change
AmIt must get obvious eEmnough, you're the one Cwho stays
[Chorus 3]
But it must get lonelyG  C  
It must Amget Glonely
(it must get lonely)G  C  
It must Amget Glonely
(it must get lonely)G  C  
It must Amget Glonely
(it must get lonely)G  C  
It must Amget Glonely
You know, it must get Glonely
