remember the pull – off notes on the high e; with the F & G chords .

verse :

and as you flashed your backstage pass .
F G6
i caught your eye with A camera’s flash .

bridge :
C Cmaj7 Fadd2 F G G6

verse :
when the band came out they stood behind you .
cymbals crashed , the lights went blue .
you stood alone in the halo’s haze .
shiny guitar hung on gold lamay;

C F
and you , you were the lonely one
C F
you were the lonely one .

verse :
when you perform it’s so intense .
when the critics pan i write in your defense .
i understand i’m just a fan ,
i’m just a fan .

verse :
when i get home i turn off the alarm .
i’ve checked the phone , no messages on .
i play the ones from yesterday .
i play you’re song just to hear you say that . . . .

chorus :
you , you’re the lonely one .
you are the lonely one .

you , you’re the lonely one .
you are the lonely one .
