INTRO (D A G D A) 

Note: The final D and A are only played half a measure throughout the song


D
                    A
It was a lonely holiday
                          G
I was alone -- you were away
                              D
In Fayetteville or in another state
           A            D
There's so many towns I hate

                                       A
When you leave me, it breaks me like a bone
                                       G
But it's never as bad as when you come home
                          D
Thought so much about suicide
         A               G
Parts of me have already died...


CHORUS

D                      A
Lonely -- baby I'm not lonely
                G
Baby I'm not -- I've got my imaginary friends
D                    A
Happy -- baby I'm so happy
               G
Baby I'm so -- I've got my imaginary friends
                 Em                           G
And if you don't love me, would you please pretend?

D
                    A
It was a lonely holiday
                       G
I was alone -- I was afraid
                               D
The bedroom walls were closing in
           A             D
It must be closing time again

                                         A
When you leave me, it breaks me like the note
                                G
That you said got stuck in your throat
                          D
Thought so much about suicide
         A               G
Parts of me have already died...

SOLO (D A G D A) x2


REPEAT CHORUS


                 Em                           G
