SOMETIMES THE LONELY WAY - They Might Be Giants
Standard Tuning (EADGBe)
[VERSE]
D Bm G Em
Not everyone you've abandoned is still standing by
D Bm G F#sus4
Not everyone who is lost is wondering why
[CHORUS]

Sometimes a lonely way
Em A D
Taking your name down from the jumbotron
F#m
Find a new place to stay

And a new home for the trumpeter swan

We can see it now, the scratches on the back of the door

We can see it now, no mistaking what you're better for

Sometimes a lonely way

Taken alive in an uncivil war

Trophies and glass displays
Em A D
Rehearsals for third place, forever more
