[Verse 1]
     G                          Em      C
It’s getting me down waiting up for you
        G                            Em     C
Cause I could’ve just as easily left by now
     G
What makes me return is
       Em          C
What I need you to do
    G                                         Em   D
But something you gave me just made me feel almighty
         G
sweet release


[Chorus]
D                 G             C
You were the only rudder that I had
       D                   G              C
That embarrassing waste of hours we would spend
           D                B7               C
And you’re always where you said you’d be my friend
           Em
When I was lonely on the weekend
D                 G
Lonely on the weekend


[Verse 2]
     G                               Em        C
It’s something to see how beauty can scare you
     G                         Em      C
That never ending neon mess of lights
G                            Em           C
Silent and dreamless holding on like I do
     G                                 Em
When what I prepared doesn’t get me anywhere
       D            G
That I like here to be


[Chorus]
D                 G             C
You were the only rudder that I had
       D                   G              C
That embarrassing waste of hours we would spend
           D                B7               C
And you’re always where you said you’d be my friend
           Em
When I was lonely on the weekend
D                 G
Lonely on the weekend
           Em
When I was lonely on the weekend
D                 G
Lonely on the weekend

[Verse 3]
G                         Em         C
Sleeping you off suddenly strangers
    G                            Em    C
Running out after using you each time
  G                      Em                   C
Ignoring the pace of the fear I’d be through
   G                                    Em
Of what I partake doesn’t make this any crime
      D           G
in my eyes in the least


[Chorus]
D                 G             C
You were the only rudder that I had
       D                   G              C
That embarrassing waste of hours we would spend
           D                B7               C
And you’re always where you said you’d be my friend
           Em
When I was lonely on the weekend
D                 G
Lonely on the weekend


[Outro]
           Em
When I was lonely on the weekend
D            G
  on the weekend
           Em
When I was lonely on the weekend
D            G
  on the weekend
