Intro: A5 E5 A5 F5 E5 A5 A5 Every evening when the sun goes down I sit here in my room A5 E5 A5 And the lamplight streaming over me projects my lonely gloom C5 F5 E5 My counterpart in agony mocks each tear that falls A5 E5 A5 And I cast a lonesome shadow on these lonely, lonely walls A5 E5 A5 He's always by my side at night no matter where I go A5 E5 A5 He lurks out in the darkness or in the neon's glow C5 F5 E5 He follows me across the steps and up and down the hall A5 E5 A5 And I cast a lonesome shadow on these lonely, lonely walls A5 E5 A5 I sit and watch the candle and the flicker of the flame A5 E5 A5 My writhing shadow twists and turns as though it is in pain C5 F5 E5 I'm trying to escape the memory my mind recalls A5 E5 A5 And I cast a lonesome shadow on these lonely, lonely walls A5 E5 A5 The image of a love I lost and all the things I'd planned A5 E5 A5 Are as empty as this bottle that I hold in my hand C5 F5 E5 My soul is buried in the depths of love and life's pitfalls A5 E5 A5 And I cast a lonesome shadow on these lonely, lonely walls A5 E5 A5 I cast a lonesome shadow on these lonely, lonely walls
