Intro
Em C G D
verse 1
Em C G
Is it the withering of tired leaves
D Em C G D
All so neatly woven around that laurel wreath?
Em C G
Or the collapsing of a history
D Em C G D
Of victories getting lapped now by all my towering defeats?
Em C G
To be a champion in your eyes
D Em C G D
Someone that you might be proud to stand beside
Em C G
But I bribed the judge and poisoned the field
D Em C G
Medals and trophies are only all that I could steal
Pre-Chorus
D C G
But you found me in the morning, December in my eyes
D Bm C
Falling apart, bloodshot, outside Craigmaddie Hospital
C D
As you fly by on the 93, what are the odds?
Bm C
I don't know, impossible
C D Bm
Got your call, I needed it more than I could let on to you
C
I could let on to anyone
C D
Could hear it in the corners of all of my words
Bm G
In the silence you heard all that's unspoken
G C G D
You don't have to be lonely alone
Bm Em
I could be there in a heartbeat
C G D
Lonely alone

You don't have to be lonely alone
Bm Em
I could be there in a heartbeat
C G D
Lonely alone
