Lonely For A While Jesse Winchester (from Love Filling Station)
[Intro]
Amaj7 Bm7 F#m E7 x2
[Verse 1]
Amaj7 F#m
I guess I took an awful lot for granted
E7 Amaj7 – E7
I thought everyone was on the square
G#m7 C#7 F#m
I thought if you give love Then you get love in return
B7 E7 - E7/F# - E7/G#
After all, that seems only fair
Amaj7 F#m
But you revolutionized my way of thinking and
E7 Asus4 – Gsus4 - F#m
Now I have a whole new style
Bm7 Dm7 Amaj7 F#m
I don't burn with desire I don't go near the fire
Bm7 E7 Amaj7
I think I'll just be lonely for a while
[Verse 2]
Amaj7 F#m
I see the happy couple in the café
E7 Amaj7 – E7
Doing like all happy couples do
G#m7 C#7 F#m
I'd warn them if I could But it would do no good
B7 E7 - E7/F# - E7/G#
Their world is only big enough for two
Amaj7 F#m
So let the lovebirds have their sweet illusions
E7 Asus4 – Gsus4 - F#m
It's best if I just walk on by and smile
Bm7 Dm7 Amaj7 F#m
I hope their love is real I miss the way they feel
Bm7 E7 Amaj7
But I think I'll just be lonely for a while
[Bridge]
Bm7 F#m
And oh so much for love I'm fine on my own
Bm7 E7 -F#m7 - B11
How am I going to miss Something I've never known?
[Verse 3]
Amaj7 F#m
I know, I know you never should say never
E7 Amaj7 – E7
Cause who knows what tomorrow holds in store
G#m7 C#7 F#m
One day love may find out Where you are hiding
B7 E7 - E7/F# - E7/G#
But you can't find what you're not looking for
Amaj7 F#m
So may I have a table in the corner
E7 Asus4 – Gsus4 - F#m
Or anywhere, just nowhere near the aisle
Bm7 Dm7 Amaj7 F#m
And yes, it's just myself No, there'll be no one else
Bm7 E7 Amaj7
I think I'll just be lonely for a while
Reprise: (same chords as last 2 lines of verse)
Bm7 Dm7 Amaj7 F#m
I hope their love is real Gee I miss the way they feel
Bm7 E7 Amaj7
But I think I will just be lonely for a while
Bm7 E7 Amaj7
But I think I'll just be lonely for a while
