Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Intro:
G minorGm C majorC FF x2


Verse:
G minorGm
I'll admit I'm lonely
C majorC
And need someone to hold me
FF
Just to sleep at night
G minorGm
But I'd rather be alone
C majorC
Rather wake up on my own
FF
Come morning time

Chorus:
DmDm           C majorC
The days pass so slowly and it never fades
DmDm               C majorC
Evening comes, I'm looking for somebody else
Bb majorBb           C majorC            FF
These are things I say only when I'm talking to myself


Verse:
G minorGm           C majorC          FF
Despite my best efforts to try and learn to forgive
G minorGm            C majorC                FF
I find me haunted by the ghosts of all those that I just can't forget
G minorGm          C majorC             FF
And I know better than to think that it can be fixed
G minorGm          C majorC             FF
Best that I can do is just to learn to live with this


Chorus:
DmDm          C majorC
I'm in a lot of pain and I need some help
DmDm          C majorC
I don't dare tell nobody else
Bb majorBb           C majorC            FF
These are things I say only when I'm talking to myself


Solo:
G minorGm C majorC FF x2

Bridge:
   C majorC    Bb majorBb       FF
I rarely go out, and when I go
     C majorC        Bb majorBb    C majorC
I always hope I don't see anyone I know


G minorGm                  C majorC           FF
'Cause the drinks bring no joy to me, I just can't remember when
    G minorGm
All the drugs begin to fail me,
    C majorC             FF
Left me only with a lonely child to fend

DmDm        C majorC
I tried to love and I failed
DmDm        C majorC
I've put my heart on a shelf

Bb majorBb           C majorC            FF
These are things I say only when I'm talking to myself

Bb majorBb           C majorC            FF
These are things I say only when I'm talking to myself
