(Start Riff 1) 

Intro: F 


Verse 1: 
                    C 
The lover held her love 
                      Am 
She begged him not to go 
                         C 
The fighter wrapped his gloves 
                   Am 
The fighter said I know, I know, I know 
                    G 
Just this one last time 
                         F 
I swear you'll still be mine 
                      Am 
But he can't promise much 
                      G 
He goes for one last touch, one last touch

Chorus 1:
 
F                          Am      G 
Maybe we were meant to be lonely, lonely 
F                         Am     G 
Maybe we were meant to be on our own 
F                          Am       G 
Loneliness has always been with me, with me 
F                             Am   G 
But maybe we don't have to be all alone

Verse 2:

                    C 
The fighter goes inside 
                      Am 
The doubt is creeping in 
                       C 
He swings with all his might 
                       Am 
At all that might have been 
                        F 
And she's in love with him 
                        G 
But lovers don't always win 
                       Am 
He never even saw the swing 
                  C 
She calls out his name, calls his name

Maybe we were meant to be lonely, lonely 
F                         Am     G 
Maybe we were meant to be on our own 
F                          Am       G 
Loneliness has always been with me, with me 
F                             Am   G 
But maybe we don't have to be all alone

Bridge 1: F F Am C 

F                    Am     G       F 
    What breaks your bones 
           Am          G          F 
Is not the load you're carrying 
                Am   G      F 
What breaks you down 
          Am      G 
Is all in how you carry

Verse 3: 

    Em    Em       D 
The lover held her love 
                      Bm 
She begged him not to go 
                  D 
She unwrapped his gloves 
                 Bm 
The lover said I know, I know, I know 
                     G 
Kissed his trembling lips 
                  A 
She touched fingertips 
                       Bm 
But somehow they both know 
                D 
He's not coming home, Coming home

Loneliness has always been with me, with me 
G                         Bm     A 
Maybe we were meant to be on our own 
G                      Bm       A 
But I got to try or it will destroy me 
G                               Bm    A 
Cause maybe we don't have to be all alone
