I'd Rather Be Lonely

Every night I get the blues,

with greens and yellows and chartreuses.
GG Piano Chord 

You're still living here with me.
AA Piano Chord 
                    DD Piano Chord 

I'd rather be lonely.

All the time I look around
for excuses to leave town.
Everybody wants somebody, but,
I'd rather be lonely.

Chorus

Loneliness is happiness,

                            D7D7 Piano Chord 

It takes less than two.

                  GmGm Piano Chord 

I confess, I digress

                                  AA Piano Chord 

from it when I'm with you.

Let us make a brand new start,
separate and stay apart.
I've had enough, having and holding.
I'd rather be lonely.
:Break:

I think that I need some space
Everyday you're in my face.
How can I get rid of you?
I'd rather be lonely.
:Chorus:

One more verse, a few more words.
Love is for the bees and birds.
Not for a human being like me.
I'd rather be lonely.
