[Intro]
Em   EmN.C.
[Chorus]
I Emcan't be the onDly one
Who's loCnely tonight
I Amcan't be the only
[Verse 1]
EmOne Who's drinking by myDself
Wishing that I was somewhere eClse
Talking to the voices in my hAmead
Because at least they're lisEmtening
Right here's an easy place to hDide
I stay in bed and shut the bClinds
Don't even know where I would Amgo
[Chorus]
But I know that there's Emgotta be somebody out
DThere's gotta be somebody somewhere
CWho needs company
And it's Amcomforting to know
I Emcan't be the onDly one
Who's loCnely tonight
AmI can't be the only
[Verse 2]
EmOne with nobody to cDall
This city makes me feel so sCmall
A million people in this tAmown
But I could scream without a soEmund
So I get high to pass the tiDme
Talk to someone I met onCline
To make myself feel less aAmlone
[Chorus]
'Cause I know that there's gEmotta be somebody out
DThere's gotta be somebody somewhere
CWho needs company
And it's Amcomforting to know
I cEman't be the onlDy one
Who's loCnely tonight
No, I Amcan't be the only
[Instrumental]
Em   D   C   Amx4
[Post-Chorus]
No, I Emcan't be the onDly one
Who's lonCely tonight
No, I Amcan't be the oEmnly one
Who's loDnely
No, I Ccan't be the oAmnly
