F
Another day, another welcome mat
Dm
A door engraved with twenty-eight, I won't remember that
BbC
These corridors, they never lead to anywhere
F
Another face, a late reminder of
Dm
How I'm so used to being used
So, I don't carry love
Bb
My hands, they pay respect to what they
C
once could bare
Oh, how I wish you'd hold them now, but you're not there
[Chorus]
Bb
Why don't we talk?
C
Why don't we talk?
F
Oh, I'm lonely, I'm lonely
Dm
Oh, please can you hold me?
Bb
That's all I ask
C
No more than that
F
Oh, I'm lonely, I'm lonely
FC
Oh, why can't you hold me?
BbCF
I'm, I'm, I'm
[Verse 2]
F
And all it was, I know, was wishing you'd not stall
Dm
And hoping I preserved the coating on these pebble walls
Bb
But misconstrued, I'll always lose what I can't solve
F
The hanging on to ambiguity
Dm
Each stone I hold's a sequence shown on
Bb
every road that we
C
Followed but, now we don't speak, no
[Chorus]
Bb
Why don't we talk?
C
Why don't we talk?
F
Oh, I'm lonely, I'm lonely
Dm
Oh, please can you hold me?
Bb
That's all I ask
C
No more than that
F
Oh, I'm lonely, I'm lonely
FC
Oh, why can't you hold me?
BbC
I'm, I'm, I'm
DmF
I'm, I'm, I'm
BbC
Know I'm, I'm, I'm
[Bridge]
Dm
You're serving a purpose
F
In a life that hurts
Bb
But bounds to the surface
You'll forget what it's worth
Dm
You've never looked better
FC
Suppressed and reserved
[Chorus]
Bb
Why don't we talk?
C
Why don't we talk?
F
Oh, I'm lonely, I'm lonely
Dm
Oh, please can you hold me?
Bb
That's all I ask
C
No more than that
F
Oh, I'm lonely, I'm lonely
FC
Oh, why can't you hold me?
BbC
I'm, I'm, I'm
DmF
I'm, I'm, I'm
BbC
Know I'm, I'm, I'm
