Perfectly Lonely
View chords used in this chart
C F-C Dm G:
Had a little love,
But I spread it thin
Falling in her arms and out again
Made a bad name for my game around town
Tore up my heart, and shut it down
Nothing to do
Nowhere to be
A simple little kind of free
Nothing to do
No one to be
And that's all I need
I'm perfectly lonely
I'm perfectly lonely
Em Am
I'm perfectly lonely
Dm
Coz I don't belong to anyone
G
Nobody belongs to me
Half intro
C F-C Dm G:
I see friends around from time to time
When their ladies let them slip away
And when they ask me how I'm doing with mine
This is always what I say
I got nothing to lose
Nowhere to be
A simple little kind of free
Em
Nothing to do
Am
No one to be

Is it really hard to see?

I have to thank the wrongs

That led me to a love so strong
