C                 F
 She says, "I'm getting that lonely sinking feeling,
     G
 You know what I mean?"
                                F 
 With his hand on her back he's thinking,
         C
"Where does that leave me?"

C                         C7             
 Just when I think I've uncovered the secret
  F                    G
 To peace and tranquility
     G                  F           C 
 That lonely sinking feeling creeps up on me

[Verse]
                              C                        F
 He says, "I'm seeing those doubt filled questioning eyes
              G
 And I can't believe it's true"
         G                       F 
 With her head in her hands she sighs,
      C        
 "It's me, not you"

 C                               C7
 Just when I thought that I'd discovered the joy
     F                G     
 Of loving one so completely
      G                 F             C 
 That lonely sinking feeling creeps up on me

[Chorus]

 Bb             F                    C          Am
 Here in this silent room we wait on ancient ritual
 Dm              A                     G               C 
 Staring at our hearts as if they were two caged animals
 Bb      F                 C                Am
 If I am the first to unlock those rusty doors
 Dm     A                  G                C  G  Bb  F C
 Will I be the first found bleeding on the floor?

[Verse]
                             C                 F
 She says, "I'm getting that lonely sinking feeling,
     G
 You know what I mean?"
                                 F 
 With his hand on her back he's thinking,
            C
"Where does that leave me?"
C                         C7             
 Just when I think I've uncovered the secret

 To peace and tranquility
      G                F             C 
 That lonely sinking feeling creeps up on me

C                               F
 Just when I thought that I'd discovered the joy
     G     
 Of loving one so completely
      G                 F             C 
 That lonely sinking feeling creeps up on me
      G                 F             C 
 That lonely sinking feeling creeps up on me
      G                 F             C 
 That lonely sinking feeling creeps up on me
      G                 F             C       
 That lonely sinking feeling creeps up on me
G    Bb    F    C
Ohhhhhhhhhh oh ohhhhhh
