[Intro] Em C G D [Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
        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
[Chorus]
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
[Interlude] Em C G D [Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
        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
[Chorus]
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     D       C
Lonely alone, lonely alone
[Interlude] C D Bm C D Bm [Chorus]
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     D       G
Lonely alone, lonely alone
[Outro] C G D Bm Em C G D G
