[Verse]
The Gdays are high, the Bmnights are low
I Emlisten to the Amradio
And CI might hear someDone I know
Your Ghair is blond, your Bmeyes are blue
This Emmuch I know, these Amthings are true
You've been Cgone so long I don't Dknow what to do
With myGself, when you Bmcall
EmStaring at a crumbling Amwall
CFeeling like a wrecking Dball
[Chorus]
CWhere you been? Don't Cmake me guess
You Emknow my dear, I Dmust confess
You Amcan't compete with Cloneliness
[Interlude]
G Bm Em Am C D
[Verse]
The Gweeks are months, the Bmmonths are years
The Emdays are rolling Amdown like tears
Is Cloneliness your Donly fear?
Did you Glose your way? Did you Bmlose your mind?
Did you Emlose the nerve to Ampress rewind?
CSpinning forward Dall the time
Is that Gyou down the Bmhall?
EmStaring through the bedroom Amwall
CSwinging like a wrecking Dball
[Chorus]
CWhere you been? Don't Cmake me guess
You Emknow my dear, I Dmust confess
You Amcan't compete with Cloneliness
[Interlude]
