   Loneliness is your only friend

Dm      C/D            Dm         C/D         Bbmaj7 C/Bb
   A broken heart that just won't mend is the price  you pay

Bbmaj7 C/Bb Dm           C/D          Dm         C/D

  You hope that she will change her mind,

Gm7             F/A    Bb        C
    But the days drift on and on

Dm                       C                Bb       Bb
   You'll never know the reason why she's gone

   You hear her voice, but you're still proud so you turn   away

Bbmaj7 C/Bb Dm          C/D           Dm        C/D
               You tell yourself that you'll be strong

Dm     C/D              Dm  C/D
   But your heart tells you:

                  Bbmaj7 C/Bb    Bbmaj7 C/Bb
"This time you're wrong"
