[Intro]
Am E F E
[Verse 1]
E Am
Only buy this if you're lonely
F E
Only listen if you're blue
Am
If you're married and you are happy
F E
This song is not to do with you
Am
If you listening at your work place
F E
Feeling small amongst the men
Am
Do not sing this to your workmates
F E Am
This song is not to do with them
[Chorus]
E Am
But if you're sitting on a bar stool
E Am
Wondering what on earth to do
F
Don't let them tell you no-one cares
E
This song's one especially for you
[Verse 2]
E Am
If you are listening on your radio
F E
Smiling while you drive along
Am
Tune the band into another
F E
Because this song is not your song
Am
If you're working as DJ
F E
Leave this record in its sleeve
Am
Cause this one's not for general airplay
F E Am
This song is for day she leaves
[Chorus]
E Am
And if you bought this and you're sinking
E Am
And I think that you know who
F
It matters not the mouth that's singing
E
This song's one especially for you
[Bridge]
Am
So this goes out to the lonely
Am
So this goes out to the sad
Dm
And it goes out to the only
E Am
One you felt you ever had
Am
If you're there in total darkness
Am
With a letter in your hand
Dm
Do not bother with the letter
Am
Just listen to the band
[Instrumental]
Am E F E

So only buy this if you're lonely...
