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