I'd Rather Be Lonely
Loudon Wainwright III
D G
Every night I get the blues,
A D
with greens and yellows and chartreuses.
G
You're still living here with me.
A D
I'd rather be lonely.
All the time I look around
for excuses to leave town.
Everybody wants somebody, but,
I'd rather be lonely.
Chorus
G Gm
Loneliness is happiness,
D D7
It takes less than two.
G Gm
I confess, I digress
D A
from it when I'm with you.
Let us make a brand new start,
separate and stay apart.
I've had enough, having and holding.
I'd rather be lonely.
<Break>
I think that I need some space
Everyday you're in my face.
How can I get rid of you?
I'd rather be lonely.
<Chorus>
One more verse, a few more words.
Love is for the bees and birds.
Not for a human being like me.
I'd rather be lonely.
