The Loner

E
When I see you walking with some other guy
Dm
I know that I’m a man I’m not supposed to cry
F G C
But when I see you I cry inside
D G Dm E
I guess I’m a loner, I don’t run with your crowd
You only smile at me when there’s no one around
We have to meet in secret cause we know the town
They’ll talk of me, they’ll talk of you
And they’ll say ‘Oh what a shame, he’s ruining her name’
Dm C
Some people say when you are alone like me
Dm C
Life has no meaning but I know
Dm
The reason you love me is because I’ll never be,
E
Never be what you want me to be
So go on laugh and walk and talk with some other guys
I’ll never let them see the love that’s in my eyes
We’ll meet tonight, you’ll make it right
When you say we’ll be together forever and ever
