Lonely For A While Jesse Winchester (from Love Filling Station)
Intro: x2
Verse 1:
I guess I took an awful lot for granted
–
I thought everyone was on the square
I thought if you give love Then you get love in return
- / - /
After all, that seems only fair
But you revolutionized my way of thinking and
– -
Now I have a whole new style
I don t burn with desire I don t go near the fire
I think I ll just be lonely for a while
Verse 2:
I see the happy couple in the café
Doing like all happy couples do
I d warn them if I could But it would do no good
Their world is only big enough for two
So let the lovebirds have their sweet illusions
It s best if I just walk on by and smile
I hope their love is real I miss the way they feel
But I think I ll just be lonely for a while
Bridge:
And oh so much for love I m fine on my own
- -
How am I going to miss Something I ve never known?
Verse 3:
I know, I know you never should say never
Cause who knows what tomorrow holds in store
One day love may find out Where you are hiding
But you can t find what you re not looking for
So may I have a table in the corner
Or anywhere, just nowhere near the aisle
And yes, it s just myself No, there ll be no one else
I think I ll just be lonely for a while
Reprise: (same chords as last 2 lines of verse)
I hope their love is real Gee I miss the way they feel
But I think I will just be lonely for a while
But I think I ll just be lonely for a while
