(Capo on 1)
Intro.: |(C) / / (C/G)| x 4 bars
It's not your (C)eyes, it's not what you say
It's not your (Am)laughter that gives you away
You're just (F)lonely
You've been (G)lonely, too (C) long
Oh, you're (C)acting your thin disguise
All your (Am)perfectly delivered lines
They don't (G)fool me
You've been (A)lonely, too (C) long
(Chorus)
(G)Let me in the (F)walls you've built (Am) around
We can light a (G/B)match and burn it (Am) down
(G)Let me hold your (F)hand and dance 'round and 'round the (Am) flames
In front of us, (G) dust to dust
You've held (C)your head up, you've fought the fight
You bear the (Am) scars, you've done your time
Listen (F) to me
You've been (G) lonely too (C) long
(Chorus)
(G)Let me in the (F)walls you've built (Am) around
We can light a (G/B)match and burn it (Am) down
(G)Let me hold your (F)hand and dance 'round and 'round the (Am) flames
In front of us, (G) dust to dust
Solo: |(Am) |(F) |(C) |(G/B) | x 2
You're like a (C)mirror, reflecting me
Takes one to (Am)know one, so take it from me
You've been (F) lonely
You've been (G) lonely, too (Am) long
(Tag)
(G)We've been (F) lonely
We've been (G) lonely, too (C) long
Outro.: / / (C/G)|(C) / / (C/G)|(C) / / (C/G)|(C) -----
