CAPO: 4th Fret



[INTRO:] C  Em  Dm  Am  Dm7    G    C  Em  Dm  Am  Dm7    G

[VERSE 1:]
     C                    Em
When all those things you shouldn't have said
     Dm                       Am
Come curling and swirling all through your head
        Dm7                                 G
And you know you're gonna be a lonely boy tonight


[VERSE 2:]
    C                          Em
And all those things you never learned how to feel
         Dm                    Am
You were going out fishing without a reel
        Dm7                                 G
And you know you're gonna be a lonely boy tonight


[VERSE 3:]
    Em
And you sit here hoping she'll come back
        Dm                       Am
But you know you've let the line run too slack
    Dm                                 G
And you don't know how far away she'll go
           Em
And you're left here wondering where she can be
       Dm                  Am
You're torn in two by your jealousy
       Dm                                     G
You're all wound up about things you'll never know


[VERSE 4:]
     C                     Em
And, oh, you say that it's only a game
            Dm          Am
But there's no escaping all of that flame
        Dm7                                 G
And you know you're gonna be a lonely boy tonight


[INSTRUMENTAL:] C  Em  Dm  Am  Dm7    G


[VERSE 5:]
         C                  Em
And when all the things you shouldn't have said
     Dm                       Am
Come curling and swirling all through your head
        Dm7                                 G
And you know you're gonna be a lonely boy tonight


[VERSE 6:]
        Em
And the house is big and empty now
          Dm                    Am
You can't find anything and you don't know how
   Dm                                    G
To cook for yourself, so you just have a drink
       Em
But it don't help much, if it helps at all
           Dm                    Am
And if you had her number, you'd try to call
    Dm                                    G
But all you can do is sit down and try to think


[VERSE 7:]
    C                Em
But oh, what does it matter anyway
        Dm                  Am
You can always find another any old day
        Dm7                                 G
But you know you're gonna be a lonely boy tonight


[INSTRUMENTAL:] C  Em  Dm  Am  Dm7    G


[VERSE 8:]   (## fade to end ##)
     C                  Em
Then all the things you shouldn't have said'll
     Dm                       Am
Come curling and swirling all through your head
        Dm7                                 G
And you know you're gonna be a lonely boy tonight
            Dm7                                 G
Oh yes, you know you're gonna be a lonely boy tonight
             Dm7                                 G
Hmm hmm, you know you're gonna be a lonely boy tonight
           Dm7                                 G
Oh oh, you know you're gonna be a lonely boy tonight
             Dm7                                 G
Ooh ooh, you know you're gonna be a lonely boy tonight
           Dm7                                 G
Ah ah, you know you're gonna be a lonely boy tonight
