[Strophe]
Em           B 
2am where do I begin, 
C             G    B 
Crying off my face again. 
Em                  B 
The silent sound of loneliness 
C               G     B 
Wants to follow me to bed.
[Pre-Refrain]
      C          D           G          Em 
I'm a ghost of a girl that I want to be most. 
        C          D           B 
I'm the shell of a girl that I used to know well.
[Refrain]
Em                   B 
Dancing slowly in an empty room 
C                       G        B 
Can the lonely take the place of you? 
  Em                  B 
I sing myself a quiet lullaby 
C                      G 
Let you go and let the lonely in 
           B 
To take my heart again
[Strophe]
Em            B 
Too afraid to go inside 
C                        G        B 
For the pain of one more loveless night. 
Em                      B 
But the loneliness will stay with me 
C                 G    B 
And hold me til I fall asleep.
[Pre-Refrain]
      C          D           G          Em 
I'm a ghost of a girl that I want to be most. 
        C           D           B 
I'm the shell of a girl that I used to know well.
[Refrain]
Em                   B 
Dancing slowly in an empty room 
C                       G        B 
Can the lonely take the place of you? 
  Em                  B 
I sing myself a quiet lullaby 
C                      G 
Let you go and let the lonely in 
           B 
To take my heart again
[Pont]
Em  D   G  D   Em 
Broken pieces of 
  Em D   G    D    Am    G 
A barely breathing story 
Em      D    G   D    C 
Where there once was love 
Em    D      G D  Am         B B7 
Now there's only me and the lonely.
[Refrain]
Em                   B 
Dancing slowly in an empty room 
C                       G        B 
Can the lonely take the place of you? 
  Em                  B 
I sing myself a quiet lullaby 
C                      G 
Let you go and let the lonely in 
           B 
To take my heart again
