They Might Be Giants

Sometimes The Lonely Way

They Might Be Giants


Tom: Bm

D           Bm               G                 Em
Not everyone you've abandoned is still standing by
D           Bm             G         F#sus4
Not everyone who is lost is wondering why


[CHORUS]

D           F#m
Sometimes a lonely way
Em          A                      D
Taking your name down from the jumbotron
           F#m
Find a new place to stay
Em        A                      D    A
And a new home for the trumpeter swan


[VERSE]

D                Bm             G                   Em
We can see it now, the scratches on the back of the door
D                Bm            G                   F#sus4
We can see it now, no mistaking what you're better for


[CHORUS]

D           F#m
Sometimes a lonely way
Em     A                  D
Taken alive in an uncivil war
             F#m
Trophies and glass displays
Em             A            D
Rehearsals for third place, forever more


[BRIDGE]

            A            G
Bah bah bah bah, bah bah bah 
                         D
Bah bah bah bah, bah bah bah
            A            G
Bah bah bah bah, bah bah bah


Em F#m G


[VERSE]

D           Bm               G                 Em
Not everyone you've abandoned is still standing by
D           Bm             G         F#sus4
Not everyone who is lost is wondering why


[CHORUS]

D           F#m
Sometimes a lonely way
Em          A                      D
Taking your name down from the jumbotron
           F#m    
Find a new place to stay
Em        A                     D
And a new home for the trumpeter swan
