Lyrics

I’m not a (C#m)lone.

I wish I (Emaj7)was.

’Cause then I’d (Amaj7)know

I was down be (G#m7)cause

I could n’t (C#m)find

a friend a (Emaj7)round

and to love me (Amaj7)like

they do (G#m7)right now,

they do (CN.C.)right now.

I’m diz zy (C#m)from

the shop ping (Emaj7)mall.

I searched for (Amaj7)joy

but I bought it (G#m7)all.

It does n’t (C#m)help

the hun ger (Emaj7)pains

and a thirst I’d (Amaj7)like

they do (G#m7)right now,

they do (CN.C.)right now.

I’m diz zy have to drown first to ev er sa ti ate.

Some thing’s

miss ing

and I don’t know how to fix it.

Some thing’s

miss ing and I (Amaj9)don’t know what it is.

No, I (Bsus4)don’t know what it is at all.

When au tumn comes,

it does n’t (Emaj7)ask;

it just walks in

where it left you last.

You nev er (C#m)know

when it (Emaj7)starts

un til there’s (Amaj7)fog in side the glass a round your (G#m7)sum mer heart.

I can’t be sure that this state of mind is not of my own de sign.

I (Amaj9)wish there was an o ver the count er test

for lone li (A)ness,

for lone li ness like this.

Some thing’s

miss ing

and I don’t know how to fix it.

Some thing’s

miss ing and I (Asus2)don’t know what it is.

No, I (Bsus4)don’t know what it is.

Some thing’s

dif f’rent

and I don’t know what it is.

No, I don’t know what it is.
