 Obs:In the "F-C", the C is just a passage chord, you can just play F, it's not a big deal.^^
Had a little  love,
 But I spread it thin
 Falling in her arms and out again
 Made a bad name for my game around town
 Tore up my heart, and shut it down
 Nothing to do
 Nowhere to be
 A simple little kind of free
 Nothing to do
 No one to be
 And that's all I need
 I'm perfectly lonely
 I'm perfectly lonely
 I'm perfectly lonely
 Coz I don't  belong to anyone
Nobody  belongs to me
 Half intro
I see friends  around from time to time
 When their ladies let them slip away
 And when they ask me how I'm doing with mine
 This is always what I say
 I got nothing to lose
 Nowhere to be
 A simple little kind of free
 Nothing to do
 No one to be
 Is it really hard to see?
 I'm perfectly lonely
 I'm perfectly lonely
 I'm perfectly lonely
 Coz I don't  belong to anyone
Nobody  belongs to me
 And this is not to say
 There never comes a day
 I'll take my chances and start  again
 And when I look behind
 On all my younger times
 I have to thank the wrongs
 That led  me to a love so strong
 I'm perfectly lonely
 I'm perfectly lonely
 I'm perfectly lonely
 Coz I don't  belong to anyone
Nobody  belongs to me
It's  the way,It's  the way,It's the way that I want it
 It's the way,It's the way,It's the way that I want it
 It's the way,It's the way,It's the way that I want it

[C]Ha[F]d [C]a [Dm]lit[G]tle love,
But I spread it thin
Falling in her arms and out again
Made a bad name for my game around town
Tore up my heart, and shut it down
Nothing to do
Nowhere to be
A simple little kind of free
Nothing to do
No one to be
And that's all I need
I'm perfectly lonely
I'm perfectly lonely

I'm perfectly [Em]lonely[Am]
Coz I [Dm]don't belong to anyone
[G]Nobody belongs to me

Half intro

[C]I [F]se[C]e [Dm]fri[G]ends around from time to time
When their ladies let them slip away
And when they ask me how I'm doing with mine
This is always what I say
I got nothing to lose
Nowhere to be
A simple little kind of free

[Em]  Nothing to do
[Am]  No one to be
[Dm]  Is it really hard to se[G]e?

I'm perfectly [C]lonely
[F]  I'm perfectly [Dm]lonely [G]
I'm perfectly l[Em]onely [Am]
Coz I [Dm]don't belong to anyone
[G]Nobody belongs to me

[Am]  And this is not to say
[G]  There never comes a day
[F]  I'll take my chances and s[G]tart again [G]   [Ab]      [Am]
[Am]  And when I look behind
[G]  On all my younger times
[F]  I have to thank the wrongs
That [Fm]led me to a love so strong

[C] [F] [C] [Dm] [G]

I'm perfectly [C]lonely
[F]  I'm perfectly [Dm]lonely [G]
I'm perfectly l[Em]onely [Am]
Coz I [Dm]don't belong to anyone
[G]Nobody belongs to me

[C]It[F]'s[C] t[Dm]he [G]way,It's the way,It's the way that I want it
It's the way,It's the way,It's the way that I want it
It's the way,It's the way,It's the way that I want it
