FDm
The morning is dead and the day is too
BmE
There's nothing left here to lead me, but the velvet moon
CG
All my loneliness I have felt today
DFGb
It's a little more than enough to make a man throw himself away
GFGbGFGbG
And I continue to burn the Midnight Lamp, alone
:Intro Riff:
F
Now the smiling portrait of you
Dm
Is still hanging on my frowning wall
BmE
It really doesn't, it really doesn't bother me too much at all
CG
It's just the uh ever falling dust that makes it so hard for me to see
D
That forgotten earring laying on the floor
FGb
Facing coldly towards the door
GFGbGFGbG
And I continue to burn the Midnight Lamp, all alone Burn!
:F----Gb- G----:
Yeah, yeah Lonely, lonely, lonely
G----
Loneliness is such a drag
:Intro Riff:
FDm
So here I sit to face that same old fireplace
Bm
Getting ready for the same old explosion
E
Going through my mind
C
And soon enough the time will tell
G
About the circus in the wishing well
D
And someone who will buy and sell for me
FGb
Someone who will toll my bell
GFGbGFGbG
And I continue to burn the same old lamp, alone
G-----FGbG------- FGbG-------
Yeah Darling, can you hear me calling you?
So lonely
Gotta blow my mind
Yeah, yeah
Lonely, lonely . . .
