INTRO: G/C/G/C/G
2
C G C G C G /C/G/C
3
You laugh at the people who walk outside on the sidewalk
4
G C G
5
And you talk to yourself so much
6
C G /C/G
7
When you see other people you can't talk
8
Am
9
This time it's true
10
D7 G G /C/G7
11
The charade is through
12
Bm C /D7
13
And you can't seem to run away from you
14
Away from you
15
Am D7
16
And the haggard ex-lover of a long-time loser
17
G C G
18
Stands rejectedly by the door
19
C G Em Am
20
Doesn't Lenny live here anymore?
21
D7
22
Are you sure?
23
You sit at the desk
24
To lose your life in a letter
25
But the words don't seem to come and you know that they're(?) better
26
And it's all so strange
27
Pictures lose their frame
28
And I'll bet you never guessed
29
There was so much pain
30
So much pain
31
Until the haggard ex-lover of a long-time loser
32
Stands rejectedly by the door
33
Doesn't Lenny live here anymore?
34
Are you sure?
35
The moon, she shines too soon and simply sadly
36
You loved your love so much that you'd strangle her madly
37
And it's all so slow
38
Time has ceased to flow
39
And the whistling whore knows something you don't know
40
And the haggard ex-lover of a long-time loser
41
Stands rejectedly by the door
42
Doesn't Lenny live here anymore?
43
Are you sure?
44
You swore you'd store your love for one time only
45
Now you searched the books in vain for better word for lonely
46
And you're torn apart
47
No other love will start
48
And you, you'd like to steal a happy heart
49
A happy heart
50
Then the haggard ex-lover of a long-time loser
51
Stands rejectedly by the door
52
Doesn't Lenny live here anymore?
53
Are you sure?
54
The fat official smiles at the pass on the border
55
And the hungry broom makes sure that the room is in order
56
You pull the shade
57
All the beds are made
58
As your lips caress the razor of the blade
59
Of the blade
60
And the haggard ex-lover of a long-time loser
61
Stands rejectedly by the door
62
Doesn't Lenny live here anymore?
63
Are you sure?
64
The soul of the sun shines just outsde of the winter
65
The shoulders charged, the boards of the barricade is splintered
66
Now at last alone
67
The flashlight is shown
68
Hello inside is there anybody home?
69
Anybody home?
70
It's the haggard ex-lover of a long-time loser
71
Standing rejectedly by the door
72
Doesn't Lenny live here anymore?
73
Are you sure?
74
Are you sure?
75
Are you sure?
