Gm           D
2am where do I begin,
Eb             Bb    D
Crying off my face again.
Gm                  D
The silent sound of loneliness
Eb              Bb     D
Wants to follow me to bed.


      Gm          F           A#          Gm
I'm a ghost of a girl that I want to be most.
        Eb          F           Bb     D
I'm the shell of a girl that I used to know well.


Gm                   D
Dancing slowly in an empty room
Eb                       Bb        D
Can the lonely take the place of you?
  Gm                  D
I sing myself a quiet lullaby
Eb                      Bb
Let you go and let the lonely in
           D
To take my heart again


Gm            D
Too afraid to go inside
Eb                        Bb        D
For the pain of one more loveless night.
Gm                      D
But the loneliness will stay with me
Eb                 Bb    D
And hold me til I fall asleep.


      Gm          F           Bb          Gm
I'm a ghost of a girl that I want to be most.
        Eb           F           Bb     D
I'm the shell of a girl that I used to know well.


Gm                   D
Dancing slowly in an empty room
Eb                       Bb        D
Can the lonely take the place of you?
  Gm                  D
I sing myself a quiet lullaby
Eb                      Bb
Let you go and let the lonely in
           D
To take my heart again


Gm  F   Bb F   Gm
Broken pieces of 
  Gm F   Bb    F    Cm    Bb   
A barely breathing story
Gm      F    Bb   F    Eb 
Where there once was love
Gm    F      Bb F  Cm         D D7               
Now there's only me and the lonely.


Gm                   D
Dancing slowly in an empty room
Eb                       Bb        D
Can the lonely take the place of you?
  Gm                  D
I sing myself a quiet lullaby
Eb                      Bb
Let you go and let the lonely in
           D
