Introduction:

difficulty
very easy |||||
 Em                                         C         G 
Is it the withering of tired leaves
 D                         Em                               C           G             D 
All so neatly woven around that laurel wreath?
 Em                                         C         G 
Or the collapsing of a history
       D                                 Em                                             C             G         D 
Of victories getting lapped now by all my towering defeats?
 Em                             C             G 
To be a champion in your eyes
 D                       Em                                       C         G           D 
Someone that you might be proud to stand beside
 Em                                                 C                       G 
But I bribed the judge and poisoned the field
 D                   Em                                                 C             G 
Medals and trophies are only all that I could steal
                 D                             C                                             G 
But you found me in the morning, December in my eyes
                 D                                                 Bm                   C 
Falling apart, bloodshot, outside Craigmaddie Hospital
                       C                         D 
As you fly by on the 93, what are the odds?
                 Bm           C 
I don't know, impossible
 C                                                   D                                                     Bm 
Got your call, I needed it more than I could let on to you
                                     C 
I could let on to anyone
                                           C                                       D 
Could hear it in the corners of all of my words
                                       Bm                             G 
In the silence you heard all that's unspoken
 G                                       C     G     D 
You don't have to be lonely alone
                       Bm                           Em 
I could be there in a heartbeat
 C     G     D 
Lonely alone
 G                                       C     G     D 
You don't have to be lonely alone
                       Bm                           Em 
I could be there in a heartbeat
 C     G     D 
Lonely alone

 Em                                           C         G 
As all my statues start crumbling
 D                           Em                                             C       G     D 
I don't really know what it is that I'm offering
 Em                                     C             G 
All I've got here is raining leaves
 D                                   Em                             C           G 
All once so neatly woven round that laurel wreath
                 D                             C                                             G 
But you found me in the morning, December in my eyes
                 D                                                 Bm                   C 
Falling apart, bloodshot, outside Craigmaddie Hospital

Lonely alone, lonely alone
