I've transposed the piano breaks to guitar; they require some thumb work to keep bass

the left hand on a piano, but they sound good considering the higher register.

INTRO

VERSE 2:

I roll over in bed looking for someone to touch

There's a girl that I know of that don't ask for much

She's homely and she's cranky, and her hair's in a net

And I'm lonely, but I ain't that lonely yet

CHORUS:

F C

I am a friend when I need one, I need someone to be one

F (F#) G Gsus4 G

I'll take anybody I can get

C F C

Sometimes I want to call you, but I feel like a pest

C G C Csus4 C

And I'm lonely, but I ain't that lonely yet

VERSE 3:

I went down to the river filled with regret

Looked down and I wondered if there was any reason left

And just before my lungs could get wet

I'm lonely, but I ain't that lonely yet

And I love my sister, lord knows how I've missed her

F (F#) G Gsus4 G

She loves me and she knows I won't forget

C G F C

G C

And I get lonely, but I ain't that lonely yet

G C C C

Yeah, I get lonely, but I ain't that lonely yet
