[Verse 1]
Dm
  Another long and sleepless night.
                             Bb
You need someone to hold you tight.
                                     Bb
Sometimes love don't know wrong from right
Another long and senseless
Dm
Fight was all you knew they're all the same
                                Bb
There's no one left to take the blame
                         C
What's behind this masquerade
How do we win these losing
G               Am
Games we play,  words we say
G                           Am      Bb
Cutting wounds we know they run so deep
Leave it all behind you,
C
  Or someday love will find you
 
[Chorus]
Dm           Bb  C
Only lonely, oh, ho. I can't stop hurting you.
Dm           Bb  C
Only lonely, oh, ho. But I can't stop lovin' you.
Dm           Bb  C   Bb
Only lonely, oh, ho. How much pain does it take?
 
[Verse 2]
Dm                               Bb
  It's getting sometimes I don't know
                        Dm
When to stop when to go
                             Bb
Sometimes we're so afraid to let it show
Dm                        Bb
  A stolen kiss so out of place
                                       Dm
It wipes the smile right off your face
And when those feelings start
      C                  Am
We let them go, let them go
G                 Am
  Games we play,     words we say
G                         Am    Bb
  Cutting wounds that run   so  deep
Leave it all behind you
C
  Or someday love will find you
 
[Chorus]
Dm           Bb  C
Only lonely, oh, ho. I can't stop hurting you.
Dm           Bb  C
Only lonely, oh, ho. But I can't stop lovin' you.
Dm           Bb  C   Bb
Only lonely, oh, ho. How much pain does it take?
 
[Post-Chorus]
                         Dm
Can you take before your heart breaks?
C             Dm    Bb
  Before your heart breaks?
G    Dm     C  Dm
  Yeah
 
[Verse 3]
G            Dm
  I got this time bomb ticking in my head
                              Bb
This time I think she's gonna blow
How can I say get away
                  Dm
When I just can't let go

[Outro]
Dm           Bb  C
Only lonely, oh, ho. I can't stop hurting you.

Only lonely, oh, ho. I can't stop hurting you.
Dm           Bb  C
Only lonely, oh, ho. But I can't stop lovin' you.
