[Intro]

G Em Am7 D7 G Em Am7 D7

G Em Am7 D7

You're a lonely alcoholic, with a tendency to w(h)ine

G Em Am7 D7

Well, you speak it and you drink it, and bore us all the time

G Em Am7 D7

Say you drink out of your sorrow for you've got no one to love

G Em Am7 D7

But, tell me, who could cuddle up to a lonely alcoholic?

G Em Am7 D7

You're a stressed out single mother, who has clearly been harassed

G Em Am7 D7

Well, you can't predict the future, for you can't erase the past

G Em Am7 D7

But your baby isn't going anywhere but up

G Em Am7 D7

So join the line and get the dole for the stressed out single mothers

G Em Am7 D7

I'm a mediocre writer, who sings all of the time

G Em Am7 D7

Writing songs about misfortunes and other people's crimes

G Em Am7 D7

Well, they say that I am doing my duty to the world

G Em Am7 D7

Oh, you could say that that is honerous, I'm just craving to be heard

G Em Am7 D7

(oooh... don't leave me alone)

G Em Am7 D7

Well, who is there to listen to the problems of our lives?

G Em Am7 D7

We've got kids who just don't eat enough and men with many wives

G Em Am7 D7

If we're all together screaming, why can't we make a sound?

G Em

Oh, cuz the dirt on which we're stepping

Am7 D7 G Em Am7 D7

Is the one in which we wil be found

G Em Am7 D7 G Em A D

Ooh, baby, don't leave me alone
