2am where do I begin,

Crying off my face again.

Wants to follow me to bed. 


PRE-CHORUS: 

      C          D           G          Em 
I'm a ghost of a girl that I want to be most. 
        C          D           Em  
I'm the shell of a girl that I used to know well. 



Em                   Bm 
Dancing slowly in an empty room 
C                       G        Am  
Can the lonely take the place of you?

I sing myself a quiet lullaby

Let you go and let the lonely in

To take my heart again 


Em            Bm 
Too afraid to go inside 
C                        G        Am 
For the pain of one more loveless night. 
Em                      Bm 
But the loneliness will stay with me 
C                 G    Am check top 
And hold me til I fall asleep.

BRIDGE: 

G             Em 
Broken pieces of 
G                  C    
A barely breathing story 
G                    Em  
Where there once was love 
G                Em         Bm 
Now there's only me and the lonely. 


FINAL-CHORUS: 

Em                   Bm 
Dancing slowly in an empty room, 
C                       G        Am  
Can the lonely take the place of you? 
Em                    Bm 
I sing myself a quiet lullaby. 
C                      G 
Let you go and let the lonely in 
           Am 
To take my heart again.
