Chords

[Intro] Gm C F x2 [Verse]
Gm
I'll admit I'm lonely

C
And need someone to hold me

F
Just to sleep at night

Gm
But I'd rather be alone

C
Rather wake up on my own

F
Come morning time
[Chorus]
Dm                      C
The days pass so slowly and it never fades

Dm                             C
Evening comes, I'm looking for somebody else

Bb                     C                        F
These are things I say only when I'm talking to myself
[Verse]
Gm                      C                    F
Despite my best efforts to try and learn to forgive

Gm                       C                               F
I find me haunted by the ghosts of all those that I just can't forget

Gm                   C                         F
And I know better than to think that it can be fixed

Gm                    C                          F
Best that I can do is just to learn to live with this
[Chorus]
Dm                   C
I'm in a lot of pain and I need some help

Dm                   C
I don't dare tell nobody else

Bb                     C                        F
These are things I say only when I'm talking to myself
[Solo] Gm C F x2 [Bridge]
     C       Bb              F
I rarely go out, and when I go

         C                Bb       C
I always hope I don't see anyone I know

Gm                                   C                      F
'Cause the drinks bring no joy to me, I just can't remember when

        Gm
All the drugs begin to fail me,

        C                          F
Left me only with a lonely child to fend

Dm               C
I tried to love and I failed

Dm                C
I've put my heart on a shelf

Bb                     C                        F
These are things I say only when I'm talking to myself

Bb                     C                        F
These are things I say only when I'm talking to myself
