Intro:
A5 E5 A5 F5 E5 A5
A5
Every evening when the sun goes down I sit here in my room
A5 E5 A5
And the lamplight streaming over me projects my lonely gloom
C5 F5 E5
My counterpart in agony mocks each tear that falls
A5 E5 A5
And I cast a lonesome shadow on these lonely, lonely walls
A5 E5 A5
He's always by my side at night no matter where I go
A5 E5 A5
He lurks out in the darkness or in the neon's glow
C5 F5 E5
He follows me across the steps and up and down the hall
A5 E5 A5
And I cast a lonesome shadow on these lonely, lonely walls
A5 E5 A5
I sit and watch the candle and the flicker of the flame
A5 E5 A5
My writhing shadow twists and turns as though it is in pain
C5 F5 E5
I'm trying to escape the memory my mind recalls
A5 E5 A5
And I cast a lonesome shadow on these lonely, lonely walls
A5 E5 A5
The image of a love I lost and all the things I'd planned
A5 E5 A5
Are as empty as this bottle that I hold in my hand
C5 F5 E5
My soul is buried in the depths of love and life's pitfalls
A5 E5 A5
And I cast a lonesome shadow on these lonely, lonely walls
A5 E5 A5
I cast a lonesome shadow on these lonely, lonely walls
