verse 1 
B 
You got me high on second fumes 
 B 
Cold city nights and smoking rooms 
G#m 
I know your story off by heart 
E 
You fabricated every part 
B 
You talk too much then say nothing 
B 
I'm just the face that buys the drinks 
 G#m 
Paris, L.A. and all that shit 
E 
You got it how you wanted it 

Pre-Chorus 
    B 
But mmm, then you say, then you say 

That you need me for life 
    G#m                           E 
But mmm, I'm okay, I'm okay this time 


[Refrão]
N.C.                              B 
'Cause where were you when I was lonely? 
                          B 
Now you acting like you know me 
                             G#m 
There's 100 ways to tell you no 
                            E 
Another 100 more to let you go, go, go 
                           B 
Where were you when I was lonely? 
                            B 
You never saw but when you called me 
                         G#m 
I ain't gonna listen anymore 
                               E 
If you never want me when I'm lonely 

Where were you when I was 
 B B G#m E 
Lonely (x4) 

Where were you when I was 
 B B G#m 
Lonely (x3) 
 E 
Lonely, lonely 

verse 2 
    B 
And I wish you weren't so beautiful 
    B 
And I wish I was so usable 
G#m 
I know I gotta blame myself 
        E 
'Cause you'd always blame somebody else 
     B 
And you always act misunderstood 
 B 
Like everyone in Hollywood 
G#m 
You're just as fake as all your friends 
    E 
And I'm glad I won't see them again, ha, huh 

Pre-Chorus 
    B 
But mmm, then you say, then you say 

That you need me for life 
    G#m                           E 
But mmm, I'm okay, I'm okay this time
