[Intro]
Am

[Verse 1]
Am
If I fall in love with all my
 C                            F
 problems, will they leave me too?
   Am
Or maybe I believed in all your
 C                         F
 lies 'cause I believed in you

[Pre-Chorus]
Am                       C
  Why were you somewhere else
                      F
When you were next to me?
                              Am
I know, you know, it keeps me up
                         C
That you think about her face
                          E7
With your hands around my waist

Did you even give a fck

[Chorus]
Am
  You can't spell,
  C                   F
 "Lonesome" without, "Me"
                    G  Am
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm-mm-mm
               C           F
And there's no hope in misery
                    G  Am
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm-mm-mm
          C
I can't escape your
      E7 F   Am
 history, oh
                 C
You can't spell "Lonesome"
           G
 without "Me"
               Am C F
You just can't

[Verse 2]
Am
Tell me I was more than
        C               F
 just a decent opportunity
            Am
Or will you tell me anything
         C
 I wanna hear
                     F
To control how you're perceived

[Pre-Chorus]
Am                       C
  Why were you somewhere else,
                        F
 when you were next to me?
                              Am
I know, you know, it keeps me up
                 C
Isn't it kind of strange
 how it all changed when
E7
I wasn't the one they
wanted you to love?
