I hate being alone

Even so, I know regret in the making

You're one of those others I swore I'd forsake

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

And I'd rather murder

Than hurt her

I'm gonna take lonely tonight

[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
