Biography:
Lydia Loveless (born September 4, 1990; as Lydia Ankrom) is an American alternative country singer-songwriter from Columbus, Ohio.
Blessed with a commanding, blast-it-to-the-back-of-the room voice, Loveless was raised on a family farm in Coshocton, Ohio, US—a small weird town with nothing to do but make music. With a dad who owned a country music bar, Loveless often woke up with a house full of touring musicians scattered on couches and floors.

[Verse 1]
Bb F
Well, how many times have I lied awake at night
Cm7 Dm
Wishing you were here to start a fight?
Cm7
I get so lonely sometimes
Eb F
I feel half alive
Bb F
And when did I become this boring and down?
Cm7 Dm
Everybody says why are you so down in the dumps
Cm7
This is a beautiful place
Eb F
and you will have fun
[Chorus]
Eb Dm Cm
But your lips are so soft and sweet
Eb Dm Cm
Oh, I miss your company
Eb Dm Cm
You’re the only one to see
Eb F
That the sun ain’t gonna rise by itself
Eb F
Honey, I don’t care if you can’t hold my hand
Bb Gm
And all you’ll ever be is just a real good friend
Eb F
I don’t care if you can’t be my man
Bb Bbadd9 Eb [repeat intro progression for 8 bars]
All I know is that I’m going to see you again
All I know is that I’m gonna be with you again
[Verse 2]
Bb F
Well, how many times did I think that if I just went away
Cm7 Dm
And put some distance between us everything would be okay
Cm7 Eb F
But I was nine hours on a plane, and I feel exactly the same
Bb F
Well, I’ve been asking myself how long can this crap go on
Cm7 Dm
And blaming you for everything that ever went wrong between you and me
Cm7
That was my fault
Eb F
Should have never told you that I'm gone
[Chorus]
Eb Dm Cm
‘Cause your lips are so soft and wet
Eb Dm Cm
Oh, ever since we kissed
Eb Dm Cm
Well, I can feel you in my chest
Eb F
I’ve got you under my skin like hardening cement
Eb F
I don’t care if you can’t hold my hand
Bb Gm
And all you’ll ever be is just a real good friend
Eb F
I don’t care if you can’t be my man

I know I haven’t even tried
Dm Eb F
I guess it’s going to take some time
[Chorus]
Eb F
And I don’t care if you can’t hold my hand
Bb Gm
And all you’ll ever be is just a real good friend

I don’t care if you can’t be my man
