G Em G Em Am C [Verse 1] G Em G I'll take lonely tonight Em G Your offer is kind Em G And I must confess Em Am That I find your casual caresses Am And that pretty dress C Pretty hard to resist Am And Christ what a night Am I think you're pretty high C I know I'm pretty pissed [Verse 2] G Em G But I'll take lonely tonight Em G Though I'm not denying Em G I hate being alone Em Am Even so, I know regret in the making C Cmaj7 You're one of those others I swore I'd forsake Am And although this extraction is taking C A great act of will [Chorus 1] Am I got a girl Am Has my heart in a house G On a hill Am So though I am hungry and tempted Am C I'm sorry, I'm not gonna bite G Em G Em I'm gonna take lonely [Verse 3] G Em G I'll take lonely tonight Em G Though I know I might Em G Well have future regrets Em Am That I didn't more often take up these chances C For what is life for C But to shag, drink and dance Am And teenager me would be screaming his pants off C Begging me to stay [Chorus 2] Am But my girl has my heart Am G In a house half a planet away Am And I'd rather murder Am Than hurt her Am C So sorry, though it feels so right G D I'm gonna take lonely tonight [Bridge] Em Odysseus wasn't strong enough D To endure the sirens' song C So he made the sailors tie him to a mast Em And Jesus spent forty days and forty nights D He stood his ground and fought his fight C The Devil tried, but couldn't break his fast D If this is true C The Devil should have offered him you C God damn it [Verse 4] G Em G I'll take lonely tonight Em G Em G In my three point five star boutique hotel Em Am Where I will spend 25 bucks C On mini bar snacks and pass out on my phone Am And wake in 4 hours or so C Soaked in relief to find I am alone Am With only the wrappers of Pringles and Snickers C For which to atone C Blissfully lonely
