[Intro]FEmAm[Verse 1]F
Everybody knows my name now
Em
But something 'bout it still
feels strange
Am
Like looking in the mirror

Tryna steady yourself and
seeing somebody else
F
And everything is not
the same now
Em
It feels like all our
lives have changed
Am
Maybe when I'm older,
it'll all calm down
But it's killing me now
[Pre-Chorus]FG
What if you had it all
Em
but nobody to call?
F
Maybe then you'd know me
FG
'Cause I've had everything
Em
But no one's listening
F
And that's just fucking lonely
[Chorus]FG
I'm so lo-o-o-onely
EmF
Lo-o-o-onely

[Verse 2]F
Everybody knows my past now
Em
Like my house was always
made of glass
Am
And maybe that's the
price you pay
For the money and fame
at an early age
F
And everybody saw me sick
Em
And it felt like
no one gave a shit
Am
They criticized
the things I did
as an idiot kid
[Pre-Chorus]FG
What if you had it all
Em
but nobody to call?
F
Maybe then you'd know me
FG
'Cause I've had everything
Em
But no one's listening
F
And that's just fcking lonely
[Chorus]FG
I'm so lo-o-o-onely
EmF
Lo-o-o-onely
FG
I'm so lo-o-o-onely
EmF
Lo-o-o-onely
How to play Lonely: key, chords and progression
These are the chords of Lonely by Justin Bieber & benny blanco on Piano, Guitar, Ukulele, and Keyboard.
Lonely by Justin Bieber & benny blanco keeps coming home to A minor (no sharps or flats). You need 4 chords: F, Em, Am and G.
Listen for F – G – Em – F (VI – VII – v – VI in A minor): the song comes back to it again and again. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.
Good to know: on guitar, F needs a barre or movable shape. Take the change into it slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
