[Verse 1]

C                                    F      C2
 Had a little love, but I spread it thin
Dm                            G
 Falling in her arms and out again
C                                   F       C2
 Made a bad name for my game around town
Dm                              G
 Tore up my heart, and shut it down

C
 Nothing to do
F              C2
 Nowhere to be
Dm                        G
 A simple little kind of free
C
 Nothing to do
F              C2
 No one but me
Dm                 G
 And that's all I need


[Chorus]

           C                    F      C2
I'm perfectly lonely
           Dm                    G
I'm perfectly lonely
           Em                   Am
I'm perfectly lonely (Yeah)
Dm
'Cause I don't belong to anyone
G
Nobody belongs to me

[Verse 2]

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

Nothing to do
Nowhere to be
A simple little kind of free
Nothing to do
No one to be
Is it really hard to see


[Chorus]

Why I'm perfectly lonely
I'm perfectly lonely
I'm perfectly lonely
I'm perfectly lonely (Yeah)
'Cause I don't belong to anyone
Nobody belongs to me


[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

I'm perfectly lonely
I'm perfectly lonely
I'm perfectly lonely (Yeah)
'Cause I don't belong to anyone
Nobody belongs to me

That's the way, that's the way, that's the way that I want it
