[Verse 1]
[G]You[C] la[G]ugh[C] at[G] th[C]e p[G]eople[C]
who [G]walk outside [C]on the [G]sidewalk[C][G]
[C]And you tal[G]k to [C]yourself so muc[G]h
When you see other [C]people
you [G]can't [C]talk[G]
This time it's [Am]true

[Verse 2]
[D]The charade is thr[G]ough[C][G]
And [Bm]you can't seem to
run away from [C]you
Away from [D]you
And the [Am]haggard ex-lover of

[Verse 3]
of a long-time loser
[D]loser
[G]Stands [C]rejectedly by the [G]door

Are you [D]sure?[G][D]
[G]You sit at the desk
[C]To

[Verse 4]
[G]lose your life [C]in a [G]letter[C][G]
[C]But the wor[G]ds don't see[C]m to [G]come and
you know [C]that [G]they're(?) better[C][G]
And it's all so [Am]strange
[D]Pictures lose their fra[G]me[C][G]

[Verse 5]
And I'll [Bm]bet you never guessed
There was so much [C]pain
So [D]much pain
Until [Am]the haggard ex-lover

of of a long-time loser
[D]loser
[G]Stands rejectedly by [C]the [G]door
[C]Doesn't [G]Lenny [Em]live here any[Am]more?
Are you [D]sure?[G][D]
The [G]moon, she [C]shines [G]too soon
and [C]simply [G]sadly[C][G]
[C]You

[Verse 7]
[G]loved your love [C]so [G]much that
[C]you'd strangle her [G]madly[C][G]
And it's all so [Am]slow
[D]Time has ceased to [G]flow[C][G]
And the [Bm]whistling whore knows
something you don't [C]know[D]

[Verse 8]
And the [Am]haggard ex-lover of
of a long-time loser
[D]loser
[G]Stands [C]rejectedly by the [G]door
[C]Doesn't [G]Lenny [Em]live here [Am]any more?
Are you [D]sure?[G][D]

[Verse 9]
[G]You swore you'd [C]store [G]your love
for one [C]time [G]only[C][G]
[C]Now [G]you searched the book[C]s i[G]n vain
for better [C]word for [G]lonely[C][G]
And you're torn [Am]apart
[D]No other love will [G]start[C][G]

[Verse 10]
And [Bm]you, you'd like to steal
a happy [C]heart
A happy [D]heart

[D]loser
[G]Stands [C]rejectedly by the [G]door
[C]Doesn't

[Verse 11]
[G]Lenny [Em]live here any[Am]more?
Are you [D]sure?[G][D]
[G]The fat offi[C]cial [G]smiles at the
pass [C]on the [G]border[C][G]
[C]And the hun[G]gry bro[C]om makes sur[G]e
that the room [C]is in [G]order[C][G]

[Verse 12]
You pull the [Am]shade
[D]All the beds are mad[G]e[C][G]
As [Bm]your lips caress the razor of [C]the blade
Of the [D]blade

And the [Am]haggard ex-lover of
of a long-time loser
[D]loser
[G]Stands [C]rejectedly by the [G]door
[C]Doesn't [G]Lenny [Em]live here [Am]any more?
Are you [D]sure?[Em][D]

[Verse 14]
[G]The soul of [C]the sun [G]shines just
[C]outsde of the [G]winter[C][G]
[C]The sho[G]ulders cha[C]rged,
the [G]boards of the barri[C]cade is [G]splintered[C][G]
Now at last [Am]alone
[D]The flashlight is shown
[G][C]

[Verse 15]
[G]
[Bm]Hel lo inside is there
anybody [C]home?
Anybody [D]home?
It's the [Am]haggard ex-lover
of of a long-time loser
[D]loser
[G]Standing [C]re jectedly by the [G]door
[C]Doesn't

[Verse 16]
[G]Lenny [Em]live here any[Am]more?
Are you [D]sure?[G]
[D]Are you sure?
[D]Are you sure?
