[C] [F]
[Dm] [G] How many people out there have had [C] themselves an amazing summer?
[F]
[Dm] [G] How many people out there found love [C] this summer?
[F]
[Dm] How many people out there know that this summer has nothing to do with [G] finding love?
[C] So I guess the next [F] question is, uh, everybody have a good couple [Dm] hookups this summer?
[Am] [G] Check it, [C] I'll break it down.
[F]
[Dm] [G]
[C] I'll never [F] be your peace up [Dm] there.
My back [G] is broken, [C] but [G] it's [C] empty.
All I [F] want is for you to make love [C] to [Dm] me.
[G] [C]
I'll never be [F] your peace [G] up there.
[Dm]
I walk for [G] miles, but my feet are hurting.
[C]
All I want [F] is for you to make [C] love [Dm] to me.
[G] Here's a little story that goes [C] on.
I had a little love, but I [F] spread it thin.
[Dm]
I'm falling [G] in her arms tonight again.
[C]
She made a bad name for my [F] game all the time.
[C] [Dm]
It tore out my [G] heart and then I shut it down.
[C]
Got nothing to do, [F] nowhere to [Dm] be at.
I set the little [G] kind aflame.
[C]
Nothing to [F] do, no woman [G] needed.
[Dm]
That's [G] all I need, sing it with me.
[D] [C] Perfectly lonely, [F] perfectly [Dm]
lonely.
[G] [Em] I'm perfectly lonely.
[Am] Because [Dm] I don't belong to anyone, [G] therefore nobody [C] belongs to me.
[F] [Dm]
[G] [C]
See my [F] friends around from time to time.
[Dm] When that lady's letting them [G] slip away.
[C]
They won't ask [F] me how I'm doing, my.
[C] [Dm]
This is always [G] what I say.
[C]
Nothing to [F] do, nowhere to [Dm] be.
I set the little [G] kind aflame.
[Em]
Nothing to [Am] do, no one to be.
[Dm] No, it's just so hard [G] to see why.
Why I'm [C] perfectly lonely.
[F] I'm [Dm] perfectly lonely.
[G] Yes, I'm [Em] perfectly lonely.
[Am] Because [Dm] I don't belong to anyone, [G] therefore nobody belongs to [Am] me.
And this is not to [Em] say, there never comes a [F] day.
I take my chances and [G] I start again.
[Am] And when I look [Em] beyond all of my younger [F] times.
I have to think the [Fm] roads leading to a love [C] so strong.
[F] [G]
[C]
[Dm]
[G] [C] Perfectly lonely, dancing [F] away.
[Dm] Perfectly lonely, [F] don't make me [G] wanna stay.
[Em] I'm perfectly lonely.
[Am] Because [Dm] I don't belong to anyone, [G] therefore nobody belongs [C]
[F] to me.
That's the way, that's the way, that's the way [G] that I'm wanted.
[C] That's the way, that's the way, that's the way [F] that I'm wanted.
That's the way, that's the way, that's the way [G] that I'm wanted.
