A Lifetime Of Loneliness

Jackie DeShannon


Tom: F

Intro: F  C  F  C

F     C   Am   D7 
Since you left me
Gm7                  C7
I’m finding out what heartbreak is
   F    C   Am   D7
So help me, save me
Gm7                   C7
You are the judge and I’m your prisioner

Chorus:
F              Dm        C           C7
Don’t sentence me into a lifetime of loneliness
             F    Dm
Without your love I would die
             F      Bb            C
Without your love I wouldn’t even try to carry on

      F    C  Am   D7
I was born to love you
Gm7                    C7             F
Spare me a lifetime of loneliness and tears

    Bbmaj7                 C  
For I believe when love is true
                   Bbmaj7                   C
One hasn’t got the right to turn to someone new
                   F        F7               Bbmaj7
One hasn’t got the right to break somebody’s heart
               C
The way you’ve broken mine

Come back I want you, need you
Bring back the love you shared with me
Without you, darling
I’m such a lonely human being
