[Verse 1]
 C     G               Am    F
 Well, someone told me yesterday
 C    G                   Am    F    (or Cmaj/ run instead of F)
 that when you throw your love away
 C   G             Am         F
 you act as if you just don´t care,
 C   G                 Am        F
 you look as if you´re going somewhere.
 C  G              Am    F
                               ( pentC run)
 But I just can´t convince myself,
 C G                  Am     F
 I couldn´t live with no one else
 C   G          Am        F
 and I can only play that part
 C   G                Am     F
 and sit and nurse my broken heart. So lonely!
[Chorus 1]
 C          G          Am         F     C          G          Am         F
  So lonely, so lonely, so lonely!       So lonely, so lonely, so lonely!
 C          G          Am         F     C          G          Am         F
 So lonely, so lonely, so lonely!        So lonely, so lonely, so lonely!
[Verse 2]
 C   G                 Am      F
 Now no one´s knocked upon my door
 C     G        Am       F
 for a thousand years or more.
 C   G             Am       F
 All made up and nowhere to go,
 C G               Am      F
   welcome to this one man show.
 C    G                    Am     F
 Just take a seat, they´re always free,
 C G               Am   F
   no surprise, no mystery.
 C       G              Am      F
 In this theatre that I call my soul
 C G               Am       F
 I always play the starring role. So lonely!
[Chorus 2]
 C          G          Am         F     C          G          Am         F
  So lonely, so lonely, so lonely!       So lonely, so lonely, so lonely!
 C          G          Am         F     C          G          Am         F
 So lonely, so lonely, so lonely!        So lonely, so lonely, so lonely!
