The Lonely – Christina Perri

[Em] 2am; where do [Bm] I begin, 
[C] Crying off my [G] face [Am] again. 
[Em] The silent sound of [Bm] loneliness 
[C] Wants to follow [G] me to [Am] bed. 
 
I'm a [C] ghost of a [D] girl that I [G] want to be [Em] most. 
I'm the [C] shell of a [D] girl that I [Em] used to know [Em] well. 
 
[Em] Dancing slowly in an [Bm] empty room, 
[C] Can the lonely take the [G] place of [Am] you? 
I [Em] sing myself a quiet [Bm] lullaby. 
[C] Let you go and let the [G] lonely in 
To take my [Am] heart again. 
 
[Em] Too afraid to go [Bm] inside 
[C] For the pain of one more [G] loveless [Am] night. 
[Em] But the loneliness will [Bm] stay with me 
[C] And hold me til I [G] fall [Am] asleep. 
 
I'm a [C] ghost of a [D] girl that I [G] want to be [Em] most. 
I'm the [C] shell of a [D] girl that I [Em] used to know [Em] well. 
 
[Em] Dancing slowly in an [Bm] empty room, 
[C] Can the lonely take the [G] place of [Am] you? 
I [Em] sing myself a quiet [Bm] lullaby. 
[C] Let you go and let the [G] lonely in 
To take my [Am] heart again. 
 
[G] Broken pieces [Em] of 
[G] A barely breathing [C] story 
[G] Where there once was [Em] love 
[G] Now there's only [Em] me and the [Bm] lonely. 
 
[Em] Dancing slowly in an [Bm] empty room, 
[C] Can the lonely take the [G] place of [Am] you? 
I [Em] sing myself a quiet [Bm] lullaby. 
[C] Let you go and let the [G] lonely in 
To take my [Am] heart again.
