Chorus:
                E                            C#m 
There’s nothin’ faster in the world than the speed of loneliness
   E                         C#m
We both know it by now, it’s time that you confessed
A                                B
Since the day you left me, I get more depressed
                E                            B              E
There’s nothin’ faster in the world than the speed of loneliness


I’m flyin in this airplane with nowhere else to land
The ground is speeding faster, it’s almost sleight of hand
You left me lying in our bed fast asleep
I let my heart get in too fast and too deep

The choice that I am making is not an easy one
With both hands tied behind my back, I’ve got to get this done
I tip the cabbie twenty bills and head out to the door
The barmaid keeps the heartache flowin’ with her pours

Chorus

Tomorrow I might miss the love I thought I had today
In the dark of blackest night I find this so passe'
Mirror, mirror on the wall, can’t stand the pain
That pounds my heart and soul just like a runaway train

Chorus

There’s nothing faster in the world than the speed of loneliness
