Intro

Eyes like an infant, staring me do-wn
She’ll take anything that’s not tied up, in my glorious past 

Verse 1

It’s just four days til Sunday, when I say that I’m go-ne
Little one screams, you cry tell the pain to leave me a- lone 
It’s just two days til Monday, another week til the 4th
Is anyone listenin, or should I call on the Lord 

Pre-Chorus 1

Oh believe me, that sometimes I leave
F#7sus4/B A Amaj13 C#m7*
Sometimes I sleep then I dream a dream that won’t come true

Chorus 1

A Asus2* E
And I struggle with life, when I’m lone-ly

Solo 1

  

Verse 2

Someone called my name out loud about 4 a.m. 
It wasn’t you so I let her in, just to see what she wanted 
She left screaming cause I, I called her by your name
But the next day she came to call, and we finished our game 

Pre-Chorus 2

Alright now, some days I breathe
F#7sus4/B A Amaj13 C#m7*
Sometimes I sleep then I dream a dream that won’t come true

Chorus 2

A Asus2* E
And I struggle with time, when I’m lone-ly

Solo 2

    
   

Verse 3

Shep plays piano right past Shandon, on the other side of Rosewood
You said he wasn’t your type, but you went any-way 
You left screamin when you thought you would, call him by my name
Oh now you whisper, why do I do this, I can’t go through this
Why do I do this, why, oh compare

Pre-Chorus 3

Cause some days I breathe and
F#7sus4/B A Amaj13 C#m7*
Sometimes I leave then I dream a dream that won’t come true

Chorus 3

A Asus2* E
And I struggle with life, when I’m lone-ly

Interlude

    
   

Refrain

I don't care who's wrong or who's right
I just don't wanna be lonely 
I don't care who's wrong or who's right, I dont, don't wanna be
Don't wanna be, don't wanna be lonely

Outro

Oh, I'm a-lone
