verse 1 
A                                       C 
Calling out for the lonely, I am going home 
             D 
I've been doing awful things again 
                          A 
I hear them laughing in my head 
A                                        C 
I went out in the morning looking for a man 
          D 
I could see you were the perfect one 
             A 
Standing all alone 

Pre-Hook 
A             C                 A 
I've been walking ahead for a while 
A      C                    A 
And dragging your body behind 
A     C                  A 
Bye baby, I had a good time 
A      C                     A 
Bye baby, I know you won't mind 

Hook 
A                                  C 
Got them all collected in these boxes 
         D          A            C      D 
Underneath my bed, my bed 

Verse 
A                              C 
Here I am still lonely with the souvenirs 
         D 
I would kill for some company 
A  
Temporarily 
A                                      C 
I did once have a lover only kept his hands 
                             D 
They can dance and play the songs for me 
             A 
Play until I sleep 

Pre-Hook 
A             C                 A 
I've been walking ahead for a while 
A      C                    A 
And dragging your body behind 
A     C                  A 
Bye baby, I had a good time 
A      C                     A 
Bye baby, I know you won't mind 

Hook  
A                                  C 
Got them all collected in these boxes 
         D          A            C      D 
Underneath my bed, my bed 

Outro 
A   C   D
