Intro: strum once each
E5 B5 B5 A5 2x

E5             B5 (or B5 )  B5                A5 
  Take a broken love song,  keep it by your side
E5           B5 (or B5 )  B5                A5 
   Never be lonely,      find a place to hide
E5             B5 (or B5 )  B5             A5 
   By the west way,         inside the scrubs
E5                  B5 (or B5 )  B5          A5          E5
   How long must we wait for theyre killing us, killing us

B5             F5
  They are the loneliest
  They are the loneliest
  They are the loneliest
B5             F5         E5         B5   B5   A5
  They are the loneliest, still


Through my cell window
Hear the loft boy sing
Come on, you R's
Carried on the wind

Every morning I'll be singing
Like a caged bird you might say
John, Paul, George and Ringo
Help pass the hours away
Free as a bird will I be
Another dawn creeps up on me, on me

They are the loneliest
They are the loneliest
They are the loneliest
They are the loneliest


B5                      D5
Letters from faceless haters
               E5                  G5        A5
Who'd love to see me swing in my cell. Oh why, 
B5                                  D5
I never saw a man who looked with such a wistful eye
            E5                             G5        A5      B5
Upon that little tent of blue, prisoners call the skyyyyyyyyy

They are the loneliest
They are the loneliest
They are the loneliest
They are the loneliest, still

Take a broken love song
Keep it by your side
