 C     G               Am    F
Well, someone told me yesterday
  C    G                  Am    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.

But I just can't convince myself
I couldn't live with no one else
And I can only play that part
And sit and nurse my broken heart

Chorus:
 C          G          Am       F
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely!
 C          G          Am       F
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely!
 C          G          Am       F
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely!
 C          G          Am       F
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely!

Now no one's knocked upon my door
For a thousand years or more
All made up and nowhere to go
Welcome to this one-man show

Just take a seat, they're always free
No surprise, no mystery
In this theatre that I call my soul
I always play the starring role

Chorus
