[Intro] C D G C G D7
[Verse 1]
G
I walked out of work
G7
and I was tired as hell
C A (A7)
Another day come and gone oh well
G D
And somewhere there's a drink
G D7
with my name on it
Well I ordered a scotch
as I bust through them doors
Spilled half on my jeans
the other half on the floor
When I saw you standing by
that video game D7
Well I ain't very good
but I get practice by myself
forgot my one-lines
so I just said what I felt
[Chorus]
G (Amin) D (Bmin) (C) (Bmin)
If only you were lonely
G (Amin) D7 (Bmin) (C) (Bmin)
If only you was lonely, too
G (Amin) D (Bmin) (C) (Bmin)
If only you were lonely
(C) G C G D7
I'd go home with you
[Verse 2]
Twenty push-ups this morning
that was half of my goal
Tonight I'll be doin' pullups
on the toilet bowl
And somewhere there's somebody
A-throwin' up D7
Well I broke the seal on my door
poured myself to bed
A whirlpool spinnin' around in my head
There was liquor on my breath
You were on my mind G7
C
And I'll be dreamin' of that smile
G A7 (E7)
without a care in the world
[Chorus]
G (Amin) D (Bmin) (C) (Bmin)
If only you were lonely
G (Amin) D7 (Bmin) (C) (Bmin)
If only you was lonely, too
G (Amin) D (Bmin) (C) (Bmin)
If only you were lonely
(C) G C G D7
I'd go home with you
I walked out of the kitchen
I was tired as hell
Another day's here oh well
Somewhere there's a smile
with my name on (C) it. (G)
