EmB 2 a.m., where do I begin? CGB7 Crying off my face again EmB The silent sounds of loneliness CGB7 Wants to follow me to bed
[Pre-Chorus]
CDGEm I'm a ghost of a girl that I want to be most CDB I'm the shell of a girl that I used to know well
[Chorus]
EmB Dancing slowly in an empty room CGB7 Can the lonely take the place of you? EmB I sing myself a quiet lullaby CGB7 Let you go and let the lonely in to take my heart again
[Interlude]
EmB
[Verse 2]
EmB Too afraid to go inside CGB7 For the pain of one more loveless night EmB But the loneliness will stay with me CGB7 And hold me 'til I fall asleep
[Pre-Chorus]
CDGEm I'm a ghost of a girl that I want to be most CDB I'm the shell of a girl that I used to know well
[Chorus]
EmB Dancing slowly in an empty room CGB7 Can the lonely take the place of you? EmB I sing myself a quiet lullaby CGB7 Let you go and let the lonely in to take my heart again
[Bridge]
EmDGC Broken pieces of EmDGAmG A barely breathing story EmDGC Where there once was love EmDGAmB7 Now there's only me and the lonely
[Chorus]
EmB Dancing slowly in an empty room CGB7 Can the lonely take the place of you? EmB I sing myself a quiet lullaby CGB7 Let you go and let the lonely in to take my heart again
