|E [D]   |          |A [G] |
No other lover ever really cared.
|B [A]         |                   |A [G]      |E [D]
When I reached out for you, you've always been there.
|E [D]     |            |A [G]   |
Now I'm so far away and baby I'm scared;

I never knew lonely till you.      { chord run into 2nd verse }


You are my rock, and the strength I need
To keep me sane in this life that I lead.
Now I'm not with you and my broken heart bleeds.
  |B [A]     |           |E [D]      |
I never knew lonely till you.         {no chord run}

          |E [D]       |B [A]       |A[G] |
          I never knew lonely could be so blue.
          |B [A]       |            |A [G]      |E [D]
          I never knew lonely could tear you in two.
          |E [D]        |B [A]       |A [G] |
          I never loved someone like I love you.
          |B [A]       |           |E [D]   |
          I never knew lonely till you.

I can't make up for the times I've been gone.
I'll prove I love you in the words of this song.
Back in your arms, girl it's where I belong.
I never knew lonely till you.


          I never knew lonely could be so blue.
          I never knew lonely could tear you in two.
          I never loved someone like I love you.
          I never knew lonely till you.

          I never knew lonely..... till you.
