Introduction: C C/B Am G F G
C C/B Am
I'm not good at making friends
G F
When I find one it usually ends
F
It happens all the time
G
I guess the fault is mine
C C/B Am
I fell in love once, it didn't last
G F
And now he's just a boy from my past
F C
Can't shake this heartache in my chest
G C
But I still wish him all the best
C/B Am
I don't mind being alone
G F
It's not as hard as being known
C
But still sometimes I wonder what
G C
It would be like to open up
C C/B Am
I've never felt like this before
G F
Always been fine with that closed door
F
I'm independent
C
Self sufficient
G C
But I don't know where that girl went
C/B Am
I'm the one they ask for help
G F
Always there for someone else
F
Can't have my own problems
C
I'm the one who solves 'em
G F
That's just how life's always been
F
I'm never there for me
C G
Somewhere else I have to be
C
I can't afford to be lonely
C C/B Am
Some of my friends won't talk to me
G F
Now they're just like my family
F C
It seems the ones I love the most
G C
Are always first to leave their post
C/B Am
I let people take advantage of me
G F
Pick them up, but when I fall they never see
C
Sometimes I wonder if they really care
G C
Or if they'd even notice if I wasn't there
C C/B Am
I've never felt like this before
G F
Always been fine with that closed door
F
I'm independent
C
Self sufficient

But I don't know where that girl went

I'm never there for me
C G
Somewhere else I have to be
C
I can't afford to be lonely
C C/B Am
I wish all these voices would just go away
G F
Everything I do seems like such a waste
F C
I'm writing these songs that no one's gonna play
G C
They'll prob'ly just die out with me someday
C/B
I'm dying inside
Am
Slowly killing my mind
G
Guess that's how it goes
F
When nobody knows
F
Don't know who to be
C
And I'm too scared to leave
G C
But God knows I've never felt so lonely
C/B Am G F G
Ooooh
C C/B Am
I've never felt like this before

G C
I've never been so lonely
C C/B
Voices in my head getting loud
Am G
Wish that I could shut them out
F
But they're always here telling me who to be
C G
And screaming these words on repeat
C
"You don't get to be lonely"
