Perfectly Lonely

Had a little love but I (F)spread it thin,

(Dm7)falling in her arms and (G)out again.

(C)Made a bad name for my game (F)'round town;

(Dm7)tore out my heart and (G)shut it down.

(C)Nothin' to do,

(F)nowhere to be;

(Dm7)a simple little kind of (G)free.

(C)Nothin' to do,

(F)no one but me,

(Dm7)and that's all I (G)need.

I'm perfectly (C)lonely.

I'm perfectly (Dm7)lonely.

I'm perfectly (Em)lonely,

(Am)yeah, 'cause I (Dm7)don't belong to anyone and (G)nobody belongs to me.

(C)I see my friends around from (F)time to time,

(Dm7)when their ladies let 'em slip (G)away.

(C)And when they ask me how I'm (F)doin' with mine,

(Dm7)this is always what I (G)say:

(C)Nothin' to do,

(F)nowhere to be;

(Dm7)a simple little kind of (G)free.

(Em)Nothin' to do,

(Am)no one to be.

(Dm7)Is it really hard to (G)see

why I'm perfectly (Am)loneAnd this is not to say

(C)there never comes a day.

(F)I'll take my chances and start (G)again.

(Am)And when I look behind

(C)on all my younger times,

(F)I'll have to thank the wrongs that (Fm)led me to a love so strong.

(G)I'm perfectly (C)lonely.

I'm perfectly (Dm7)lonely.

I'm perfectly (Em)lonely,

(Am)yeah, 'cause I (Dm7)don't belong to anyone and (G)nobody belongs...

That's the (C)way, that's the way,

that's the way that I (F)want it.

That's the (Dm7)way, that's the way,

that's the way that I (G)want it.

That's the (C)way, that's the way,

that's the way that I (F)want it.
