Chords for The Motels- "Only The Lonely" 1982 [Reelin' In The Years Archive]

_ _ _ _ _ A day without applause is a day when the applause sign breaks down. _
How are y'all?
Did you hear who's here and right behind that curtain the motels?
Yeah! _ _ _
_ _ _ _ They are the best group.
In their honor we put Bibles in all the dressing rooms here. _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [A] _ One got it.
We are in for a special treat today.
We have one of the hottest, if not the hottest group in America on this show today, [Eb] and this is their new album.
_ Boy, [N] huh?
How fast they work around here, huh?
_ New choreographer? _ _
_ Yeah.
And yay, huh? _
_ _ And as _ usual_
_ _ Well, they're gonna sing first for you today.
Their big hit, Only the Lonely.
Here are the motels!
[Ab] _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] _ _ We [F] want _ [Ab] the [Eb] loneliest [Cm] smile.
We smile without any style.
[Ab] We kiss all together on no _ [Eb] intention.
_ _ _ [F] _ _
[Ab] We lie about each other's strengths.
[F] We live _ [Fm] without each other thinking we _ _ _ do. _
Without me [Bbm] and [Ab] you, _ _ _ [Eb] it's like I'm only _ [Db] _
_ _ getting [Ab] leggy. _ _ _
_ _ So hold on, _ here we go.
[Fm] Hold on, do nothing we know.
[Db] I feel so lonely _ way up [Eb] here. _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ You mentioned _ the time we were together.
[Fm] _ _ _
So long ago, [Ab] well I know _ _ _ _ as it [F] makes me feel [Ab] good now.
It's [Eb] like I told you [Db] _ _ only [Ab] the lonely can play. _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] Only the lonely _
_ [Db] _ _ _ [Ab] _ can play.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb]
the lonely, _ [Db] only the lonely [Ab] can play.
_ _ _ _ It's [Eb] like I told you [Db] _ _ only [Ab] can play. _ _ _ _
Only [Bbm] the lowest _ _ [Db] _ can _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ claim
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
