[Verse 1]
G          Em9        G
I'll take lonely tonight
      Em9      G
Your offer is kind
    Em9         G
And I must confess
    Em9         Am9
That I find your casual caresses
     Am9
And that pretty dress
        Cmaj7         Cmaj7
Pretty hard to resist
 
      Am9
And Christ what a night
        Am9
I think you're pretty high
        Cmaj7
I know I'm pretty pissed
 
 
[Verse 2]
     G        Em9         G
But I'll take lonely tonight
        Em9       G
Though I'm not denying
 Em9          G
I hate being alone
 
Em9     Am9                    Am9
Even so, I know regret in the making
              Cmaj7                       Cmaj7
You're one of those others I swore I'd forsake
         Am9                     Am9
And although this extraction is taking
    Cmaj7         Cmaj7
A great act of will
Cmaj9
I got a girl
         Cmaj9              G/D
Has my heart in house on a hill
      G/D        Am9        Am9
So though I am hungry and tempted
    Cmaj7                    Cmaj7
I'm sorry, I'm not going to bite
 Em9
I'm gonna take lonely
 
[Instrumental]
G Em9 G Em9
 
[Verse 3]
 G        Em9       G
I'll take lonely tonight
       Em9        G
Though I know I might
            Em9      G
Well have future regrets
     Em9      Am9                        Am9
That I didn't more often take up these chances
                  Cmaj7
For what is life for
                      Cmaj7
But to shag, drink and dance
              Am9                         Am9
And teenager me would be screaming his pants off
         Cmaj7
Begging me to stay
 
       Cmaj9
But my girl has my heart
      Cmaj9         G/D
In a house half a planet away
                Am9
And I'd rather murder
      Am9
Than hurt her
                              Cmaj7
So sorry, though it feels so right
 Cmaj7
I'm gonna take lonely tonight
 
[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
   Esus7
Odysseus wasn't strong enough
     Esus7/D
To endure the Siren song
         Cmaj9                           Cmaj9
And so he made the sailors tie him to a mast
                 D
And Jesus spent forty days and forty nights
     D
He stood his ground and fought his fight
        Cmaj9                                Cmaj9
And the Devil tried, but couldn't break his fast
             D
If this is true
                                   C
The Devil should have offered him you
 
  N.C.
Goddamnit
 
[Verse 4]
 G        Em9       G
I'll take lonely tonight
   Em9             G       Em9       G
In my three-point-five star boutique hotel
                     Am9
Where I will spend Twenty-five bucks
                            Cmaj7
On minibar snacks and pass out on my phone
     Am9
And wake in four hours or so
                         Cmaj7
Soaked in relief to find I am alone
      Am9
With only the wrappers of Pringles and Snickers
      Cmaj7
For which to atone
    N.C.            G
Blissfully lonely
