                What will you do when you get lonely
                Dm          C#      D#      F
                With nobody waiting by your side

                You've been running and hiding much too long,
                Gm            C                 F
                You know it's just your foolish pride.

                Dm                   Am
                Tried to give you consolation,
                Dm       C#        D#      F
                Your old man won't let you down
                Gm     C        F                Bb
                Like a fool, I fell in love with you,
                Gm         C                  F

                Dm       C#      D#    F
                Before I fin'lly go insane.
                Gm           C         F            Bb
                Please don't say we'll never find a way
                Gm          C               F
