The Wonder Years

It Must Get Lonely

The Wonder Years


Tom: G

Bm C Bm C Bm Am G
[Verse 1]
G                      C
I'm a raw nerve in the sunlight
G                      C
After two weeks in the dark
G                                  C
If you've gotta tell me you're not using
G                        C
It's probably 'cause you are

[Pre-Chorus]
Em
I saw you there
       G                     Am
Just a block off to see your rowhome
      C                      Em                    G
On an empty street where the others have been torn down
                       C
And you're the last one standing

[Chorus 1]
                   Bm C Bm C Bm C Bm Am G
It must get lonely
                   Bm C Bm C Bm C Bm Am G
It must get lonely

[Verse 2]
G                                C
When the grace starts to swallow grey
                              G
Where the sky meets the Irish sea
                                    C
Like a suit that's been to too many funerals
                          G
And starts fraying at the seams
                     C                                    G
I saw a bag of clementines split right open on an English street
                         C
And the contrast made me feel so goddamn dizzy

[Pre-Chorus]
Em
I saw you there
       G                     Am
Just a block off to see your rowhome
      C                      Em                    G
On an empty street where the others have been torn down
                       C
And you're the last one standing

[Bridge 1]
Am                   Em                 C
It must get obvious enough that I'm not ever gonna change
Am                   Em                 C         G
It must get obvious enough, I'm the one who stays

[Chorus 2]
                       Bm C Bm C Bm C Bm
But it must get lonely
        Am   G
It must get lonely
                       Bm C Bm C Bm C Bm
But it must get lonely
            Am   G
But it must get lonely

[Verse 3]
G     D       Bm     C
I'm a specter in the dim light on the flowers by the grave
G      D             C
In the Montmartre in Paris
C                               G
Where the crows seem to know my name
              D          Bm     C
And they left footprints in the snow
C                         G
Along the fence on Palmer Street
    D                  C
Cigarette butts on the headstones
C
That you left for me

[Pre-Chorus]
Em
I saw you there
       G                     Am
Just a block off to see your rowhome
      C                      Em                    G
On an empty street where the others have been torn down
                       C
And you're the last one standing

[Bridge 2]
Am                   Em                 C
It must get obvious enough that I'm not ever gonna change
Am                   Em                 C
It must get obvious enough, I'm the one who stays
Am                   Em                    C
It must get obvious enough that you're not ever gonna change
Am                   Em                    C
It must get obvious enough, you're the one who stays

[Chorus 3]
                       Bm C Bm C Bm C Bm
But it must get lonely
        Am  G
It must get lonely
                       Bm C Bm C Bm C Bm
(it must get lonely)
        Am  G
It must get lonely
                       Bm C Bm C Bm C Bm
(it must get lonely)
        Am  G
It must get lonely
                       Bm C Bm C Bm C Bm
(it must get lonely)
        Am  G
It must get lonely
                      Bm
You know, it must get lonely
