[INTRO:] Am
[VERSE 1:]
I was at the breakwall, I was looking at the sea
D Am In back of an eight ball, in some misery
There on the horizon stood a mighty ship of fools
D Am They were headed into the harbour with all their broken rules
[CHORUS:]
C D Am Whenever I'm feeling lonely, I can just pick up the phone C D Am Or I can go to the movies or just stay at home alone C D Am D They're better off to be someplace that's a good long way from home C Anyway I can't lose myself D A G The dawn is breaking, I'm hesitating, I'm D A G Fading away D A G D A fading away
[VERSE 2:]
Am They sailed right up to meet me, I said, "What's it all about D Am Please try to excuse me, we can work things out
If you've ever wondered, if that mighty ship is real
D Am Let me tell ya 'bout it brother, it was something you could feel"
[CHORUS:]
C D Am Whenever I'm feeling lonely, I let twilight set the tone C D Am Or I can go to the movies or just stay at home alone C D Am They're better off to be someplace that's a good long way to roam D C Ain't living high on the hog right now D A G The dawn is breaking, I'm hesitating, I'm D A G Fading away D A G D fading away
[VERSE 3:]
Am One more day on the calendar in my mind D Am I am down around the breakwall putting in some time
The whole ship of fools has gotten safely under way
D Am And I was proud to be a part of what it was they had to say
[CHORUS:]
C D Am Whenever I'm feeling lonely, I can just pick up the phone C D Am Or I can go to the movies or just stay at home alone C D Am D They're better off to be someplace that's a good long way from home C Anyway I can't lose myself D A G The dawn is breaking, I'm hesitating, I'm D A G Fading away D A G D A fading away D A G D A fading away D A G D fading away
