[Verse 1]
        Cm
Nobody wants to be
                                    Eb
Nobody wants to be the one to walk away
Nobody wants to see
                                                Ab
Nobody wants to see the truth, then let it in, run away
Nobody wants to know
                                          Bb
Nobody wants to know the ways they don't love you right
They don't love you right

[Pre-Chorus]
            Cm
So when you hold me tightly, all night
              Eb
Ooh, baby, I feel like something's not right
          Ab
When you hold me tightly like that
              Bb
Ooh, baby, I know, mmm

[Chorus]
                       Cm
I'm better alone than lonely (lonely, lonely)
                       Eb
I'm better alone than lonely here with you
So lonely here
                       Ab
I'm better alone than lonely (lonely, lonely)
                       Bb
I'm better alone than lonely here with you
So lonely here
                        Eb
I'm better alone than lonely

[Verse 2]
        Cm
Nobody wants to bleed
                                      Eb
Nobody wants to bleed, but everybody hurts
Nobody wants to blame
                                                         Ab
Nobody wants the shame of knowing they're the ones that made it worse
What are we gonna do?
                                             Bb
What are we gonna do when makin' love don't make it right?
It don't make it right

[Pre-Chorus]
            Cm
So when you hold me tightly, all night
              Eb
Ooh, baby, I feel like something's not right
          Ab
When you hold me tightly like that
              Bb
Ooh, baby, I know, mmm

[Chorus]
                       Cm
I'm better alone than lonely (lonely, lonely)
                       Eb
I'm better alone than lonely here with you
So lonely here
                       Ab
I'm better alone than lonely (lonely, lonely)
                       Bb
I'm better alone than lonely here with you
So lonely here
                        Eb
I'm better alone than lonely

[Bridge]
                     Ab
And it's gonna be a long night
Nobody to hold tight
                  Bb
I'm waking up on your side
And I can't decide
                 Ab
It's gonna be a long night
Nobody to hold tight
                  Bb
I'm waking up on your side
And I can't decide

[Chorus]
                       Cm
I'm better alone than lonely (lonely, lonely)
                       Eb
I'm better alone than lonely here with you
So lonely here
                       Ab
I'm better alone than lonely (lonely, lonely)
                       Bb
I'm better alone than lonely here with you
So lonely here
                       Cm
I'm better alone than lonely (lonely, I'm better all alone)
                       Eb
I'm better alone than lonely here with you
So lonely here
                       Ab
I'm better alone than lonely (lonely, I'm better all alone)
                       Bb
I'm better alone than lonely here with you
So lonely here
                       Cm
I'm better alone than lonely

[Outro]
Lonely, I'm better all alone
Eb                  Bb
Lonely, I'm better all alone
