What It's Like To Be Lonely

Tom: D

A Em A Em


[Verse 1]
Em               
Headed back home 

boarding the plane
        C
Like an old ghost 

thought I heard your name
        G
And my heart stopped, 

skipped a beat for one second
D
Turned around, but who was I kidding?
Em
Just a sweet girl

Was she here to save me?
C
Will I finally get to move on, maybe?
G
Quick drinks, so that I can move closer
D                                 (Em)
Ask her name, hoping for closure


[Chorus]
Em                         
So this is what it's like to be lonely?
                                 C
Spending every minute thinking 'bout you
                                  G
But looking for somebody else to hold me
                                          D
Only hoping they will know me like you do
                                Em
Get out of my mind for a moment
                                         C
You took my heart and marked it like a tattoo
                                      G
They say that time will heal like a potion
                                  D 
But time has only got me missing more of you, of you
Em       C
(Lonely, lonely)
G        D
(Lonely, lonely)


[Verse 2]
Em  
It's been a few months

And not much has changed
C
Still check my phone to see if your name's on it
G
Drive past the places we used to go
D
Our song keeps spinning on the radio
Em
And I know I sound a little cliché, but I
C
I never thought the things could change
G
So please, don't forget me when the summer fades
D                                                  Em
All the while, I'll be trying to replace your face


[Chorus]
Em                         
So this is what it's like to be lonely?
                                 C
Spending every minute thinking 'bout you
                                  G
But looking for somebody else to hold me
                                          D
Only hoping they will know me like you do
                                Em
Get out of my mind for a moment
                                         C
You took my heart and marked it like a tattoo
                                      G
They say that time will heal like a potion
                                  D 
But time has only got me missing more of you, of you
Em
(Lonely, lonely)
C
(This is what it's like to be, this is what it's like to be)
G
(Lonely, lonely)
D
(This is what it's like to be lonely)


[Bridge]
A                  C
All I want is for you to know
          G                       
That I'm sorry for all the
D 
Things I didn't didn't do
G      D       C       
All I want is for you to know
           G
That I'm sorry for all the 
D
things I didn't didn't do


[Bridge]
Em                                         C
If I call you up in the middle of the night
C                                                G
If I send you a text asking, "How is your life?"
G                                 D
It's just me checking in insecure
D
Wondering if I exist anymore
Em                                      C
If I say something and I started a fight
C                                                  G
Between you and yours, yeah I'll act so surprised
D
Surprised, surprised
                        G
I'll need a little time


[Chorus]
G                                       Em
So this is what it's like to be lonely?
                                C  
Spending every minute thinking 'bout you
                                 G      
But looking for somebody else to hold me
                                       D
Only hoping they will know me like you do
                           Em
Get out of my mind for a moment
                                          C
You took my heart and marked it like a tattoo
                                      G
They say that time will heal like a potion
                                  D
But time has only got me missing more of you, of you


[Outro]
 Em                C
(Lonely, lonely, lonely)
G                D                                     Em   
(Lonely, lonely, this is what it's like to be lonely)
 C   G                                        C G 
(Lonely, this is what it's like to be lonely)
