[C] I [F]
[Dm] [G]
[C] [F]
[Dm] [G]
[C] had a little [F] love but I spread it thin [D] Falling in her [G] arms and out again
[C] Made a bad [F] name for my game around town [Dm] Tore out my [G] heart, shut it down
[C] Nothing [F] to do, nowhere to [Dm] be Except for little [G] kind of free
[C] Nothing [F] to do, no one but [Dm] me [C] And that's [G] all I need
[C] I'm perfectly lonely, [F]
[C] perfectly [Dm] lonely [G] I'm [Em] perfectly [Am] lonely, yeah
Cause [Dm] I don't belong to anyone, nobody [C] belongs to me
[F]

[C] And when [F] they ask me how I'm doing with mine [Dm] This is always [G] what I say
