[Intro]
G
 I'm an island,
 I'm alone, but I'm alive
C
 Candy Apple,
 I went home without a prize
G
 They're all laughing,
 keep on laughing, so am I
C
 I'm an island,
 I'm alone, but I'm alive

[Pre-Chorus]
G
 Crying doesn't make you charming

Only thing I'm not is sorry
C
 Dancing at a pity party,
 at a pity party

[Chorus]
            G
Guess we're all lonely people
            Cmaj7
Guess we're all lonely people
    G
Romeo has no sequel
            Cmaj7
Guess we're all lonely people
