Intro:

 Em       D        C
i can't be the only one who's lonely tonight
 Am
i can't be the only—


Verse:

  Em
Yeah, does anybody feel like me?
                 D
Show of hands, i don't need a lot, i just wanna find my peace
             C
Yeah, why you throwin' rocks, oh, you wanna kill my dreams?
                Am
Okay, tell me everything i'm not

You think i didn't know those things?
Am
Always been a little lost and i still might be
   Em
Life's hard, but it's okay (it's okay)

Watchin' the comments feels like i'm at a court date
 D
How could i complain

With a house like this and a car like that in the driveway?
 C
Half of what i say

Kinda feels like a dream that i'm gonna wake from someday
 Am
Wishin' that i'd pray

A little more often and put more time into my faith
 Em
Travel in my brain, woo, might find damage and no grace
             D
Things that i hold on to, but i won't say things that i won't let go

So i chain my soul to the heartbreak
 C
Havin' a nice day, that's not a average in my case
               Am
Don't like cameras in my face; glamour, it's all fake

Love my job, but it might seem odd that i'm here 'cause i hate fame (Oh)
 Em
Yeah, pain might get to me, throwin' threats at me
      D
They can't tell, disconnectin' me, it's affectin' me
    C
Hide that well, they'll write checks to me, but don't check on me
   Am
Find myself, always questioning what comes next for me

i can't be the only—


Chorus:

   Em        D       C
No, i can't be the only one who's lonely tonight
  Am
No, i can't be the only—


Verse 2:

 Em
Yeah, if you made a list of people that you trusted would you put your name down?
   D
Do you know who you are when you look at life and you talk about yours, do you feel proud? (Lonely)
  C
Are you leaving a mark, or scared to make a bad impression so you just go hide in the dark? (Lonely)
 Am
Livin' and playin' a part, knowin' regret'll come back up tomorrow
       Em
That's what it does, ain't it? Don't know what we're chasin', but we all do it
                   D
Just a part of life, i guess we're all foolish

Running after what we think will make us happy 'til it falls through (Lonely)
  C
And then we find out later it ain't what we wanted

So we give up on it, then we pile the garbage (Lonely)
     Am
And we watch it grow and find a drug to numb it

'Til we hit the point that we can barely function
 Em
Am i motivated? is my music dated?

Would i be the same if i was medicated?
  D
Even therapists say i need medication

i avoid it, though, because i'm scared to take it
  C
Am i the only one that has a loaded gun

That's full of doubts and memories to overcome?
   Am
And i complain about 'em when they shoot at me
                             Em
But i know truthfully i like to load 'em up and let 'em—
                          D
That's so sad to see, that's so sad to see, i need help
                      C
They talk passively, then come after me by myself
                          Am
Lost that half of me, God, there has to be someone else

Don't feel bad for me, i just can't believe that i'm the only


Chorus:

   Em        D       C
No, i can't be the only one who's lonely tonight
   Am
No, i can't be the only—


Bridge:

Em
There's gotta be somebody out there
D
There's gotta be somebody somewhere
C             Am
Who needs company, and it's comforting to know, know (Know)
Em
There's gotta be somebody out there
D
There's gotta be somebody somewhere
C             Am
Who needs company, and it's comforting to know


Chorus:

 Em        D       C
i can't be the only one who's lonely tonight
   Am
No, i (i) can't be the only— (Only)
Em       D       C
Can't be the only one who's lonely tonight
   Am
No, i (i) can't be the only—
