Intro
Em, C, G, B x3
C#m A E B
She wears her body like a lifetime achievement
C#m A E B
It fills the silence when she doesn't know the words
C#m A E B
And he is working on his lifetime achievement
C#m A E B
But all they want is to be instantly intimate
Em, C, G, B
C#m A E B
You've got no mother, when you're dressed up for strangers
C#m A E B
You keep pretending that you never feel the pain
C#m A E B
And he holds his lovers, like they're quarters for payphones
C#m A E B A B
They fill the silence and he doesn't even know their names
Chorus
A C#m A C#m
But I'm a lonely girl, na, na, na, na, na
A C#m A C#m B
And I can change the world, and everything I am
A C#m A (break) C#m
But I'd rather be alone than someone you take home
(Em), C, G, B x2
C#m A E B
Well the world adores you for the man you have sold them
C#m A E B
It fills the silence when you can't believe your name
C#m A E B
But I'm not your witness, I won't answer your questions
C#m A E B
You're just a lonely man who needs someone to blame
Chorus
A C#m A C#m
But I'm a lonely girl, na, na, na, na, na
A C#m A C#m
And I can change the world, and everything I am
A C#m A C#m
But I'd rather be alone, I'd rather be alone
A
Than someone...

And I know the feeling when love is a stranger
A E B
And you've never been in such beautiful danger
A E B
And I know the feeling when love is a stranger
A E B
And you've never been in such beautiful danger
Chorus
A C#m A C#m
Because I'm a lonely girl, na, na, na, na, na
A C#m A C#m
And I could change the world and everything I am
A C#m A C#m
Yeah, I'm a lonely girl, na, na, na, na, na

I'd rather be alone than someone you take home
Em, C, G, B x2
