Intro (x2): Dmaj7  E  Dbm Bm

Verse 1:
Dmaj7                        A
Sometimes I feel like people smell the lonely on me
     Dbm                                Bm
It's seeped in my perfume or it spilled all over my laundry
Dmaj7                          E
Sometimes I feel like they can see it on my person
          Dbm                           Bm                 Dmaj7
Like it's written on my forehead, every language, every version

Chorus:
      A                          Dbm   Bm
She's lonely, she don't got no purpose
      Dmaj7                        E
And I say what they want but it'll always be the wrong thing
Dbm                    Bm                  Dmaj7  A                      Dbm Bm
I forget that they can smell the lonely on me    (Smell the lonely on me)

Post-chorus:
   Dmaj7      A         Dbm
In crowds, in towns, my house
        Bm               Dmaj7
There's nowhere that I'm safe
       A            Dbm
At the beach, in my sheets
       Bm                      Dmaj7  E  Dbm
I just can't seem to find some space
Bm        Dmaj7   E  Dbm Bm
Lonely finds a way

Verse 2:
Dmaj7                        E
Sometimes I feel like people smell the lonely on me
   Dbm                         Bm
It slipped into my pocket or I had it with my coffee
Dmaj7                            E
Sometimes it feels like they see right through my façade
      Dbm                     Bm                  Dmaj7
Is it how I do my makeup, the way I tend to walk?

Chorus:
      E                  Dbm Bm
She's lonely, she don't got
Dmaj7           A     Bm
No one, no how, no way
Dmaj7              Dbm
She will get there someday
    Dmaj7                   Dbm
But right now, she's pretty lonely
D       A       Dbm Dmaj7  E  Dbm
Lonely, lonely, lonely
Bm        Dmaj7  E  Dbm Bm
Lonely finds a way

Bridge:
        Dmaj7         A
There's nowhere I can hide
   Dbm7           Bm
It finds me every time
   Dmaj7  A     Dbm  Bm
My lonely eats me alive
  Dmaj7           A
I barely sleep at night
  Dbm            Bm
I live inside my mind
   Dmaj7 E      Dbm  Bm
My lonely eats me alive

It eats me alive    every time
