Flobots - Loneliness

^DmA flicker of a light in an empty home ^CBickering at night and you end up cold ^EmI wanna let the right brain retain control ^AmThe rhyme inspires most when it's 5 minutes old ^DmThere's a feeling that I get when it's sad and it's grey ^CReminds me of times way back in the day ^EmThey wouldn't call me back, they didn't wanna play I ask my stepmother if it ever goes away ^DmSo I'm sending you a message with text ^CThat doesn't really say it's an SOS ^EmYes so I guess that I press those numbers ^AmTo summon for a presto, grow less number ^DmLooking forwards I spring into summer ^CAnd wonder if you would lay around like lumber ^EmAnd supports me like a funder Paying attention to my pain and tension ^DmWe all have forces pulling us under ^CBut somewhere beneath this world torn asunder ^EmWe smell the storm before the thunder ^AmAnd bring angles down to earth like sunder

^EmAnd when it bursts, the loneliness hurts like ^Amhunger [Chorus] Why don't you ^Dmtell 'em about the loneliness? ^C Why don't you ^Emtell 'em about the loneliness? ^Am Why don't you ^Dmtell 'em about the loneliness? ^C Why don't you ^Emtell 'em about the loneliness? ^Am

^DmWhere did my joy go? ^CI'm chewin' at its vapors ^EmHiding from the light With this basement as^Am my base ^DmThe opposite of a smiling face ^CI pile on disgraces Say amazing grace ^Em To chase down whatever this tast^Ame is ^DmI'm a tweeter with a blown cone ^CWonder where the bass is ^EmDrawn to you on a path of penciled promises ^AmFound my feet inside erasers ^DmPraises to Rafael and St^C. Rita ^EmTry to breathe and gasp ^AmTry to seize and grasp, and breathe my last ^DmDon't even ask if you can counsel me ^C I'm a lone ^Emwolf so I wear wolf wear wool ^AmLike lycanthropy Cut connections ^Dmwith irreverence I slit^Cher in and sever us I wann^Ema be the boy who lived But never ^Amhave no trust to give ^DmI must admit through busted lips I've sunke^Cn ships and rusted bridges ^EmCut slow to the quick And lost^Am myself to split decisions Multiply b^Dmy my divisions ^CRound down for the placement ^DmWho's he? Just me ^AmAlone in that basement

Why don't you ^Dmtell 'em about the loneliness? ^C Why don't you ^Emtell 'em about the loneliness? ^Am
