Rab Noakes - Lonely Boy Tonight
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[INTRO:] C Em Dm Am Dm7 G
[VERSE 1:]
C Em
When all these 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 there's all the 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're here hoping she'll come back
Dm Am
But you know you 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
And 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 so 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 C Em Dm Am Dm7 G
[VERSE 5:]
C Em
Then all these things you shouldn't have said
Dm Am
Come twirling and curling 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
Well, it don't help much, if it helps at all
Dm Am
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 C Em Dm Am Dm7 G
