[Verse 1]
C F C2
Had a little love, but I spread it thin
Dm G
Falling in her arms and out again
C F C2
Made a bad name for my game around town
Dm G
Tore up my heart, and shut it down
C
Nothing to do
F C2
Nowhere to be
Dm G
A simple little kind of free
C
Nothing to do
F C2
No one but me
Dm G
And that's all I need
[Chorus]
C F C2
I'm perfectly lonely
Dm G
I'm perfectly lonely
Em Am
I'm perfectly lonely (Yeah)
Dm
'Cause I don't belong to anyone
G
Nobody belongs to me
[Riff 1]

[Verse 2]
I see friends around from time to time
When their ladies let them slip away
And when they ask me how I'm doing with mine
This is always what I say
Nothing to do
Nowhere to be
A simple little kind of free
Nothing to do
No one to be
Is it really hard to see
[Chorus]
Why I'm perfectly lonely
I'm perfectly lonely
I'm perfectly lonely
I'm perfectly lonely (Yeah)
'Cause I don't belong to anyone
Nobody belongs to me
[Bridge]
Am
And this is not to say
G
There never comes a day
F G G#
I'll take my chances and start again
Am
And when I look behind
G
On all my younger times
F Fm
I have to thank the wrongs that led me to a love so strong
[Solo]

'Cause I don't belong to anyone
Nobody belongs to me
That's the way, that's the way, that's the way that I want it
