[Chorus]
C               Em
Lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely
         F           G
I have nobody for my own
       C               Em
I'm so lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely
         F           G
I have nobody for my own
[Intro]
       C
I'm so lonely
Em             F
  Yo, this one here goes out
          G
To all my players out there, man
         C
You know, that got that one good girl, dawg
       Em
That's always been there, man
                       F
Like, took all the bullshit
But then one day she can't take it no more
      G
And decides to leave
[Verse]
     C
Yeah, I woke up in the middle of the night
      Em
And I noticed my girl wasn't by my side
F
  Could've sworn I was dreamin'
              G
For her I was feenin'
So I had to take a little ride
C
  Backtrackin' on these few years
          Em
Tryin' to figure out what I do to make it go bad
F
  ‘Cause ever since my girl left me
G
  My whole life came crashin', and I'm so…

Oh, I'm so lonely
[Verse]
Can't believe I had a girl like you
      Em
And I just let you walk right out of my life
F
  After all I put you through
    G
You still stuck around and stayed by my side
C
  What really hurt me is I broke your heart
      Em
Baby, you a good girl and I had no right
F
  I really wanna make things right

‘Cause without you in my life, girl, I'm so…

Ain't never met a girl
That could take the things that you been through
F
  Never thought the day would come
                           G
Where you would get up and run
And I would be out chasin' you
C
  ‘Cause ain't nowhere in the globe I'd rather be

  So happy, but now so lonely
