F
Another day, another welcome mat
Dm
A door engraved with twenty-eight, I won't remember that
Bb                    C
These corridors, they never lead to anywhere
F
Another face, a late reminder of
Dm
How I'm so used to being used

So, I don't carry love
Bb
My hands, they pay respect to what they
           C
once could bare

Oh, how I wish you'd hold them now, but you're not there


[Chorus]
Bb
Why don't we talk?
    C
Why don't we talk?
        F
Oh, I'm lonely, I'm lonely
     Dm
Oh, please can you hold me?
Bb
That's all I ask
    C
No more than that
        F
Oh, I'm lonely, I'm lonely
    F              C
Oh, why can't you hold me?
Bb        C                  F
I'm, I'm, I'm


[Verse 2]
F
And all it was, I know, was wishing you'd not stall
Dm
And hoping I preserved the coating on these pebble walls
 Bb
But misconstrued, I'll always lose what I can't solve
F
The hanging on to ambiguity
Dm
Each stone I hold's a sequence shown on
                Bb
every road that we
                            C
Followed but, now we don't speak, no


[Chorus]
 Bb
Why don't we talk?
     C
Why don't we talk?
        F
Oh, I'm lonely, I'm lonely
     Dm
Oh, please can you hold me?
 Bb
That's all I ask
    C
No more than that
        F
Oh, I'm lonely, I'm lonely
    F              C
Oh, why can't you hold me?
Bb        C
I'm, I'm, I'm
Dm        F
I'm, I'm, I'm
      Bb        C
Know I'm, I'm, I'm


[Bridge]
Dm
You're serving a purpose
F
In a life that hurts
Bb
But bounds to the surface

You'll forget what it's worth
Dm
You've never looked better
F                C
Suppressed and reserved


[Chorus]
Bb
Why don't we talk?
     C
Why don't we talk?
         F
Oh, I'm lonely, I'm lonely
     Dm
Oh, please can you hold me?
Bb
That's all I ask
   C
No more than that
        F
Oh, I'm lonely, I'm lonely
    F              C
Oh, why can't you hold me?
Bb        C
I'm, I'm, I'm
Dm        F
I'm, I'm, I'm
Bb            C
Know I'm, I'm, I'm
