Left the house years ago 
           A                     D 
Here's the story of a kid in his shadow 
   Bm7                  Em7    A 
He just didn't wanna be lonely 
D              Bm7               Em7 
 We started to fly, then she got sick 
              A                 D 
Pulled up and down and spun out real quick 
   Bm7                  Em7    A 
He just didn't wanna be lonely

D                Bm7                Em7 
 I pulled into a Wawa in Philly in 2000 
           A                              D 
Blue Magic coming from the speaker at the gas pump 
           Bm7                     Em7 
All Jersey kids, we never learn to pump gas 
      A 
So we sat there with the soundtrack 
D               Bm7                      Em7 
 Now I'm on the way, in firehouse, glory days 
           A                 D 
Parked the van, spun through vehicle 
           Bm7                          Em7 
Then those drive-thru years really went slow 
     A                           D 
Wawa lights in the rear view was making it

              Bm7              Em7 
We parked the van, the time is there 
           A                          D 
That's the story 'bout kids and their shadows 
    Bm7                  Em7    A 
Who just didn't wanna be lonely 

That's why I still sing 
D                               Bm7      Em7 
 Glory to the ones who know the van, oh, oh, oh 
A                             D 
Glory to the ones on the edge 
  Bm7                 Em7       A 
I just don't wanna be lonely, I just don't wanna be 
 


[Verso 2]
 
D                   Bm7                         Em7 
 I think some of us needed to chip away what we don't understand 
A              D 
Slowly combing over it 
Bm7            Em7 
Slowly getting under it 
       A                  D 
'Cause there's no getting over it 
            Bm7                               Em7 
So we drove back from the west with our new religion 
        A                       D 
One-way tickets in heart and in hand 
          Bm7                            Em7 
Said fuck anything in my way, this is forever now 
A                         D                          Bm7 
 And just like that, everything changed (Cut off the lights) 
                      Em7 
I just don't wanna be lonely, I just don't wanna be 
           A                       D      Bm7 Em7 A 
That's the thing about loving your shadow

D           Bm7              Em7 
 Years from then, I left the house 
        A             D 
Saw her standing on a rooftop 
             Bm7                 Em7        A 
She said, "I just don't wanna be lonely" (I just don't wanna be) 
D           Bm7                 Em7        A 
 I said, "I just don't wanna be lonely" (I just don't wanna be) 
D             Bm7                 Em7     A 
 She said, "I just don't wanna be lonely"
