 >Intro:
 >
 >I walked out of work
 >
 >and I was tired as hell
 >
 >Another day come and gone oh well
 >
 >And somewhere there's a drink
 >
 >with my name on it
 >Well I ordered a scotch
 >as I bust through them doors
 >Spilled half on my jeans
 >the other half on the floor
 >When I saw you standing by
 >that video game D7
 >Well I ain't very good
 >but I get practice by myself
 >forgot my one-lines
 >so I just said what I felt
 >Chorus: G Amin D Bmin C Bmin
 > If only you were lonely
 >
 > If only you was lonely, too
 >
 > If only you were lonely
 >
 > I'd go home with you
 >Twenty push-ups this morning
 >that was half of my goal
 >Tonight I'll be doin' pullups
 >on the toilet bowl
 >And somewhere there's somebody
 >-throwin'  up
 >Well I broke the seal on my door
 >poured myself to bed
 >A whirlpool spinnin' around in my head
 >There was liquor on my breath
 >You were on my mind G7
 >
 >And I'll be dreamin' of that smile
 >
 >without a care in the world
 (repeat chorus as above -- slightly different lyrics, outro)
 >I walked out of the kitchen
 >I was tired as hell
 >Another day's here oh well
 >Somewhere there's a smile
 >with my name on C it. G
