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

Now there's only me and the lonely.
