Lonely For A While Jesse Winchester (from Love Filling Station)
Intro: Amaj7 Bm7 F#m E7 x2
Verse 1:
Amaj7 F#m
I guess I took an awful lot for granted
E7 Amaj7 – E7
I thought everyone was on the square
G#m7 C#7 F#m
I thought if you give love Then you get love in return
B7 E7 - E7/F# - E7/G#
After all, that seems only fair
Amaj7 F#m
But you revolutionized my way of thinking and
E7 Asus4 – Gsus4 - F#m
Now I have a whole new style
Bm7 Dm7 Amaj7 F#m
I don't burn with desire I don't go near the fire
Bm7 E7 Amaj7
I think I'll just be lonely for a while
Verse 2:
I see the happy couple in the café
Doing like all happy couples do
I'd warn them if I could But it would do no good
Their world is only big enough for two
So let the lovebirds have their sweet illusions
It's best if I just walk on by and smile
I hope their love is real I miss the way they feel
But I think I'll just be lonely for a while
Bridge:
Bm7 F#m
And oh so much for love I'm fine on my own
Bm7 E7 -F#m7 - B11
How am I going to miss Something I've never known?
Verse 3:
I know, I know you never should say never
Cause who knows what tomorrow holds in store
One day love may find out Where you are hiding
But you can't find what you're not looking for
So may I have a table in the corner
Or anywhere, just nowhere near the aisle
And yes, it's just myself No, there'll be no one else
I think I'll just be lonely for a while
Reprise: (same chords as last 2 lines of verse)
I hope their love is real Gee I miss the way they feel
But I think I will just be lonely for a while
But I think I'll just be lonely for a while
