Ive Been Lonely For So Long

C          G              C
I've been lonely for so long
C                G                    C
Don't seem like happiness will come along
C          G             C
I've been lonely for so long
C                G                    C
Don't seem like happiness will come along

[Verse 1]

D
These ain't rain clouds over my head
C
Everybody's throwing rocks in my bed
D
Just can't seem to get ahead in life
      C                       Am
Ooh, nothin' I do ever turns right
C
Won't somebody help me please

[Chorus]

C                 G             C
'Cause I've been lonely for so long
C                G                    C
Don't seem like happiness will come along
C          G             C
I've been lonely for so long
C                G                    C
Don't seem like happiness will come along

[Verse 2]

D
I lay awake every night
C
Tryin' to figure out how to make things right
D
There's got to be a better way I know
C                                      Am
To shake this monkey off 'cause he's makin' me so
C
Won't somebody help me please

[Chorus]

C                 G             C
'Cause I've been lonely for so long
C                G                    C
Don't seem like happiness will come along
C          G             C
I've been lonely for so long
C                G                    C
Don't seem like happiness will come along

[Bridge]

          G                              C
(Spoken) Yes, I know what it feels like to be lonely
   C            G                 C
To have your friends turn their backs on you
     G
To never know the real meaning
    C
Of peace of mind, yes

[Verse 3]

D
I lay awake every night
C
Tryin' to figure out how to make things right
D
There's got to be a better way I know
C                                      Am
To shake this monkey off 'cause he's makin' me so
C
Won't somebody help me please


C                 G             C
'Cause I've been lonely for so long
C                G                    C
Don't seem like happiness will come along
C                 G             C
'Cause I've been lonely for so long
C                G                    C
Don't seem like happiness will come along (Fade Out)
