<p>Lesson In Loneliness</p>
<p>(Jerry Bridges, Brian Epps)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Intro: E | E (G A) | E | E (G A) | E | E |</p>
<p> </p>
<p>VERSE 1:</p>
<p> D A E</p>
<p>I didn’t bring you roses, I didn’t kiss you goodnight</p>
<p> D A E</p>
<p>I didn’t say that I love you, I didn’t hold you tight</p>
<p> D A E</p>
<p>You told me not to leave you, and if I did that you’d be gone</p>
<p> D A E</p>
<p>I thought that you would still be here, you wouldn’t leave me alone</p>
<p> </p>
<p>CHORUS:</p>
<p> D A E D A E</p>
<p>You gave me my first lesson in loneliness, and taught me how to cry</p>
<p> D A E G A E</p>
<p>You gave me a lesson I won’t forget even if I try</p>
<p> D A E D A B</p>
<p>I should have held you closer and tried my best, to be there when you needed me</p>
<p> D A E G A E G A E | E (G A) | E | E</p>
<p>You gave me a lesson I won’t forget, a lesson in loneliness, a lesson in loneliness</p>
<p> </p>
<p>VERSE 2:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Now I know how lonely feels, I was a fool for leaving you</p>
<p>These restless night are more than I can take, and these tears that fall are real</p>
<p>I can feel this pain inside, I feel cold and alone</p>
<p>So if this is how lonely feels, I can’t go on alone</p>
<p> </p>
<p>REPEAT CHORUS:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>D | A | E | E |</p>
<p>D A E D A E</p>
<p>Mmmmmm… loneliness, MmmmmHmmm… loneliness</p>
