[F] [G] [Am]
[F] I'm going to sing a song called, The Lonely Man.
At noon [G] in the whole room, [Am] they're about to let you go.
[F] And the lock will slam [G] on the plan you had [Am] tonight.
You've been messing around [A] with your boyfriend,
maybe better left alone.
There's a wild guy [G] that you know couldn't, couldn't write.
[F] And the lock, boy, [A] that's out.
[Am]
Cause the lonely man [D] loves to [Am] share with you.
And the lonely [A] man was [Am] gonna spend a part,
living a night of [G] life at the [Am] high school.
And that's [F] why,
the school of life [G] has got a bad [Am] reputation.
Oh yeah.
[F] But the [G] need is for [Am] education.
[F] But the school [G] is a bad [Am] situation.
Oh yeah.

[F] [G] [Am]
[F] You don't know [G] about how it feels [Am] when the school is mighty.
[F] And the [G] underclassmen are flashing hot [Am] and cool.

[F] [G] [A]
[Am] They call it an evaporation.
You're waiting for a separation.
You're [G] nothing but another bad number.
The [C] life that you don't [Am] remember.
So you got a little extra concern.
And you're like,
a big [G] decision.
But you want a little night for.
Maybe [C] some a little rub off [Am] on ya.
The boys are busy in the mirror.
Trying to imitate their [D] heroes.
You make [A] it with a false surrender.
More [Am] memories you won't remember.
First thing you wanna do, you're missing.
I wonder what the two of you [D] are wishing.
I think he graduated too.
I don't think [C] he graduated too.
[D] I don't think that.
