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

Broken pieces of

A barely breathing story

Where there once was love

Now there's only me and the lonely.

To take my heart again.
