Capo 3
Em B
2am where do I begin,
C G B
Crying off my face again.
Em B
The silent sound of loneliness
C G B
Wants to follow me to bed.
Em D G Em
I'm a ghost of a girl that I want to be most.
Em D Em
I'm the shell of a girl that I used to know well.
Em B
Dancing slowly in an empty room
C G B
Can the lonely take the place of you?
Em B
I sing myself a quiet lullaby
C G
Let you go and let the lonely in
B
To take my heart again
Em B
Too afraid to go inside
C G B
For the pain of one more loveless night.
Em B
But the loneliness will stay with me
C G B
And hold me til I fall asleep.
