The Backseat Lovers - Viciously Lonely

[Intro]
G Am G Am

[Verse 1]

G
My new house sits upon the clouds
Am
Right next door is the lost and found
G
Picking fights with the ghost down stairs
Am
Turn off the lights and plug my ears

Gmaj7 Am9 Gmaj7 Am9

G Am
The trees are killing off in a lovely kind of way
G Am
And of course I’m pleading from the porch just stay
G Am
Maybe the winter will cut me some slack this year
G Am
Maybe I’m telling myself what I’d like to hear

[Pre-Chorus]

Am9
Tonight I hope I fall asleep
D
Before my hands do
Am
I might come close to drifting off
D
But I don’t plan to

[Chorus]
G
I’m viciously lonely
Lost respect
Am
My best friend is the crick in my neck
G
Sit back and stone me
Toss your rocks
Am Am9
Pretty good aim if you count head shots

[Bridge]

G
I tend to spend a couple hours a day
Am
Waiting by the phone hoping there’s nothing to say
Bm Bbm Am
But I’ve got the feeling that my wake up call is on its way
G
But as my youth begins to expire
Am
I’ll slowly put a little less wood on the fire
Bm Bbm
But maybe it’ll turn like a roll of old film
Am
Or a bottle of wine
D7
That’s been waiting to spill

[Chorus 2]

G
Viciously lonely
Tossed around
Am
Most these days I’m stuck in town
Gmaj7
So come on and show me
Lay it down
Am
Put the band in the deep-end
Am9
And try to get loud

G Am G Am G Am G Am

[Outro]

Am D
And all the flags are halfway down the poles
Am D
So why are dogs still barking at the fireworks show
