[Ab] We walked a lonely [Cm] smile, we smiled without any [Ab] style
We kissed all together on no [F] intention
[Eb]
[Ab] We lied about each other's strengths
We [F] lived [Fm] without each other thinking [Ab] what anyone would do
Without me and you, [Ab] [Eb] it's like I told you
[Db]
Only the lonely can stay
So hold on, here we go
[Fm] Hold on, nothing we know
[Db] I'm feeling so lonely, [Ab] way up [Eb] here
[Ab] You mentioned the time we were together
[Fm] So long [Ab] ago, always, it makes me feel good now
It's [Eb] like I told [Db] you
Only the lonely can play

Only [Eb] the lonely [Db]
