Chords

[Verse 1]
Em           B
2am where do I begin,

C             G    B
Crying off my face again.

Em                  B
The silent sound of loneliness

C               G     B
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           B
I'm the shell of a girl that I used to know well.
[Chorus]
Em                   B
Dancing slowly in an empty room

C                       G        B
Can the lonely take the place of you?

  Em                  B
I sing myself a quiet lullaby

C                      G
Let you go and let the lonely in

           B
To take my heart again
[Verse 2]
Em            B
Too afraid to go inside

C                        G        B
For the pain of one more loveless night.

Em                      B
But the loneliness will stay with me

C                 G    B
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           B
I'm the shell of a girl that I used to know well.
[Chorus]
Em                   B
Dancing slowly in an empty room

C                       G        B
Can the lonely take the place of you?

  Em                  B
I sing myself a quiet lullaby

C                      G
Let you go and let the lonely in

           B
To take my heart again
[Bridge]
Em  D   G  D   Em
Broken pieces of

  Em D   G    D    Am    G
A barely breathing story

Em      D    G   D    C
Where there once was love

Em    D      G D  Am         B B7
Now there's only me and the lonely.
[Chorus]
Em                   B
Dancing slowly in an empty room

C                       G        B
Can the lonely take the place of you?

  Em                  B
I sing myself a quiet lullaby

C                      G
Let you go and let the lonely in

           B
To take my heart again
