The Varaflames - Lonely Boy Tonight
CAPO: 4th Fret
[INTRO:] C Em Dm Am Dm7 G C Em Dm Am Dm7 G
[VERSE 1:]
C Em
When all those 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 all those 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 sit here hoping she'll come back
Dm Am
But you know you've 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
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, oh, 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
[VERSE 5:]
C Em
And when all the 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 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
But it don't help much, if it helps at all
Dm Am
And 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
[VERSE 8:] (## fade to end ##)
C Em
Then all the things you shouldn't have said'll
Dm Am
Come curling and swirling all through your head
Dm7 G
And you know you're gonna be a lonely boy tonight
Dm7 G
Oh yes, you know you're gonna be a lonely boy tonight
Dm7 G
Hmm hmm, you know you're gonna be a lonely boy tonight
Dm7 G
Oh oh, you know you're gonna be a lonely boy tonight
Dm7 G
Ooh ooh, you know you're gonna be a lonely boy tonight
Dm7 G
Ah ah, you know you're gonna be a lonely boy tonight
