[Intro]
G Em G Em Am C
[Verse 1]
G Em G
I'll take lonely tonight
Em G
Your offer is kind
Em G
And I must confess
Em Am
That I find your casual caresses
Am
And that pretty dress
C
Pretty hard to resist
Am
And Christ what a night
Am
I think you're pretty high
C
I know I'm pretty p**sed
[Verse 2]
G Em G
But I'll take lonely tonight
Em G
Though I'm not denying
Em G
I hate being alone
Em Am
Even so, I know regret in the making
C Cmaj7
You're one of those others I swore I'd forsake
Am
And although this extraction is taking
C
A great act of will
[Chorus 1]
Am
I got a girl
Am
Has my heart in a house
G
On a hill
Am
So though I am hungry and tempted
Am C
I'm sorry, I'm not gonna bite
G Em G Em
I'm gonna take lonely
[Verse 3]
G Em G
I'll take lonely tonight
Em G
Though I know I might
Em G
Well have future regrets
Em Am
That I didn't more often take up these chances
C
For what is life for
C
But to share, drink and dances
Am
And teenager me would be screaming his pants off
C
Begging me to stay
[Chorus 2]
Am
But my girl has my heart
Am G
In a house half a planet away
Am
And I'd rather murder
Am
Than hurt her
Am C
So sorry, though it feels so right
G D
I'm gonna take lonely tonight
[Bridge]
Em
Odysseus wasn't strong enough
D
To endure the silent song
C
So he made the sailors tie him to a mast
Em
And Jesus spent forty days and forty nights
D
He stood his ground and fought his fight
C
The Devil tried, but couldn't break his fast
D
If this is true
C
The Devil should have offered him you
C
God damn it
[Verse 4]
G Em G
I'll take lonely tonight
Em G Em G
In my three point five star boutique hotel
Em Am
Where I will spend 25 bucks
C
On mini bar snacks and pass out on my phone
Am
And wake in 4 hours or so
C
Soaked in relief to find I am alone
Am
With only the wrappers of Pringles and Snickers
C
For which to atone
C
Blissfully lonely
[Outro]
