[Intro]
C  D  G C G  D7
 
[Verse 1]
  G
I walked out of work
          G7
and I was tired as hell
 C                   A7
Another day come and gone oh well
    G                   D
And somewhere there's a drink
                G  D7
with my name on it
       G
Well I ordered a scotch
     G7
as I bust through them doors
        C
Spilled half on my jeans
          A7
the other half on the floor
       G                D
When I saw you standing by
           G    D7
that video game
       G
Well I ain't very good
          G7
but I get practice by myself
   C
forgot my one-lines
          A7
so I just said what I felt
 
[Chorus]
   Am            Bm      C Bm
If only you were lonely
   Am           Bm      C Bm
If only you was lonely, too
   Am           Bm      C
If only you was lonely
                 G   D7
I'd go home with you
 
[Verse 2]
       G
Twenty push-ups this morning
         G7
that was half of my goal
   C
Tonight I'll be doin' pullups
       A7
on the toilet bowl
    G                     D
And somewhere there's somebody
           G  D7
A-throwin' up
       G
Well I broke the seal on my door
      G7
And I poured myself to bed
  C                   A7
A whirlpool spinnin' around in my head
          G            D
There was liquor on my breath
               G    G7
You were on my mind
            C
And I'll be dreamin' of that smile
          G           Em
without a care in the world
 
[Chorus]
   Am            Bm      C Bm
If only you were lonely
   Am           Bm      C Bm
If only you was lonely
   Am            Bm      C
If only you were lonely
                 G   D7
I'd go home with you
 
 
  G
I walked out of the kitchen
      G7
I was tired as hell
 C                A7
Another day's here, oh well
G                   D7
Somewhere there's a smile
                C    G    D   G7
with my name on it.
