Dm 
A flicker of a light in an empty home 
C 
Bickering at night and you end up cold 
Em 
I wanna let the right brain retain control 
Am 
The rhyme inspires most when it's 5 minutes old 
Dm 
There's a feeling that I get when it's sad and it's grey 
C 
Reminds me of times way back in the day 
Em 
They wouldn't call me back, they didn't wanna play 
I ask my stepmother if it ever goes away 
Dm 
So I'm sending you a message with text 
C 
That doesn't really say it's an SOS 
Em 
Yes so I guess that I press those numbers 
Am 
To summon for a presto, grow less number 
Dm 
Looking forwards I spring into summer 
C 
And wonder if you would lay around like lumber 
Em 
And supports me like a funder 
Paying attention to my pain and tension 
Dm 
We all have forces pulling us under 
C 
But somewhere beneath this world torn asunder 
Em 
We smell the storm before the thunder 
Am 
And bring angles down to earth like sunder 

Dm, C 

Em                                            Am 
And when it bursts, the loneliness hurts like hunger 


              Dm                             C 
Why don't you tell 'em about the loneliness? 
              Em                             Am 
Why don't you tell 'em about the loneliness? 
              Dm                             C 
Why don't you tell 'em about the loneliness? 
              Em                             Am 
Why don't you tell 'em about the loneliness? 



Dm 
Where did my joy go? 
C 
I'm chewin' at its vapors 
Em 
Hiding from the light 
                     Am 
With this basement as my base 
Dm 
The opposite of a smiling face 
C 
I pile on disgraces 
                           Em 
Say amazing grace 
                                Am 
To chase down whatever this taste is 
Dm 
I'm a tweeter with a blown cone 
C 
Wonder where the bass is 
Em 
Drawn to you on a path of penciled promises 
Am 
Found my feet inside erasers 
Dm                      C 
Praises to Rafael and St. Rita 
Em 
Try to breathe and gasp 
Am 
Try to seize and grasp, and breathe my last 
Dm                                                        C 
Don't even ask if you can counsel me 
           Em 
I'm a lone wolf so I wear wolf wear wool 
Am 
Like lycanthropy 
                Dm 
Cut connections with irreverence 
      C 
I slither in and sever us 
      Em 
I wanna be the boy who lived 
          Am 
But never have no trust to give 
Dm 
I must admit through busted lips 
          C 
I've sunken ships and rusted bridges 
Em 
Cut slow to the quick 
        Am 
And lost myself to split decisions 
          Dm 
Multiply by my divisions 
C 
Round down for the placement 
Dm 
Who's he? Just me 
Am 
Alone in that basement 

 
              Dm                             C 
Why don't you tell 'em about the loneliness? 
              Em                             Am 
Why don't you tell 'em about the loneliness?
