Loneliness Is My Only True Friend
CAPO III
INTRO: D G D G
G Bm
Come mornin' I'll be leavin' for somewhere down the line
C G
A Cantina in Tiajuana, a roadhouse in Caroline
G Bm
I don't know just where I'm bound baby hold me until the dawn
C G D
Trade your tears for coffee grounds, come morning I'll be gone around the bend
C D G
Loneliness is my only true friend
I might hop a train to Harrisburg or a semi to Detroit
Or hang out in Nashville under bridges swiggin' port
Might ride off to St. Louis and make a livin' a livin' brewin' booze
Roll down to New Orleans and let that voodoo wash away my sins
Loneliness is my only true friend
CHORUS:
C G
When I'm somewhere in the desert and the wind is turnin' cold
D C G
And I'm starvin' for the pleasure of someone warm to hold
C G
I will drink my wine and think of you and stare at your Polaroid
G7 C
Remembering the love we made and the dreams we destroyed and could not mend
D G
Loneliness is my only true friend
BREAK: D G D G C D G
I might hide out in Missouri with the ghost of Jesse James
Or lay up in Los Angeles, I ain't namin' names
Or phone collect from Philly, Lord when I ain't got a coin
Just hangin' with old prize fighters stranded in some joint, takin' it on the chin
Loneliness is my only true friend
CHORUS
C D G
Loneliness is my only true friend
INTRO out
