🎸 Intro:

F Am F Am
F C  G G



🎸 Verse 1:
F                      Am
Are you looking to be alone
F                      Am
Or can I sit with you awhile?
F                    C
I don't want to be a stranger anymore
              G
And you won't even have to smile
F                     Am
We can talk about the rain
F                 Am
How it can't seem to stop
F                         C
Something stupid like the football game
         G
Or I can tell you where to shop

🎸 Chorus:
G                    F
We're running out of options
             Am
It's time to close the tab
       F               G
If you insist on being lonely
                    Am
Let me put you in a cab

🎸 Verse 2:
F                             Am
Are you looking for something easy?
F                    Am
Do you need to feel alive?
F                        C                              G
Do you crave a love that tears through your life like a Category 5?
F                    Am
My momma spent every day alone
F                     Am
In a house with noise and names
F                           C
She got so tired of putting out fires
         G
She just laid down in the flames

🎸 Chorus:
G                    F
We're running out of options
                  Am
I've told you all my jokes
       F               G
If you insist on being lonely
                       Am
Can you leave a couple smokes?

🎸 Verse 3:
F                      Am
I could lie to you all night
F                  Am
Say I saw you in a dream
F                       C
We don't have to get to know each other better
       G
Let it be just how it seems
F                        Am
I won't ask you for your number
F                       Am
Don't even need to know your name
F                      C
I'm too tired to get excited
            G
And I'm too old to be ashamed

🎸 Chorus:
G                    F
We're running out of options
                   Am
I'll give you time to think
       F               G
If you insist on being lonely
                         Am
Let me leave you to your drink

🎸 Chorus:
G                    F
We're running out of options
                      Am
I'll wait outside the door
       F               G
If you insist on being lonely
                      Am
I might wait a minute more
