Song: Lonely Girl
Album: M!ssundaztood (2001)
tabbed by: [email protected]
The tuning is kinda tricky, you have to tune up your guitar a quarter(!) step to
be able to play along with the record. I think this is the best song on Missundaztood,
so it is worth the efford.
Intro: Gm Bb Eb Cm
Gm
I can remember
Bb
The very first time I cried
Eb
How I wiped my eyes
Cm
And buried the pain inside
Gm
All of my memories
Bb
Good and bad that’s passed
Eb Cm
Didn’t even take the time to realize
Cm Eb
Staring at the cracks in the walls
Bb
‘Cause I’m waiting for it all to come to an end
Cm Eb
Still I curl up right under the bed
Bb
‘Cause it’s takin’ over my head
All over again…
Chorus:
Ab Eb Fm
Do you even know who you are?
Ab
I guess I’m trying to find
Eb Fm
A borrowed dream or a superstar?
Ab
I want to be a star
Eb Fm
Is life good to you, or is it bad?
Ab
I can’t tell anymore
Eb Bb
Do you even know what you have?
Gm
Lying awake
Bb
Watching the sunlight
Eb
How the birds will sing
Cm
As I count the rings around my eyes
Gm
Constantly pushing
Bb
The world I know aside
Eb
I don’t even feel the pain
Cm
I don’t even want to try
Cm Eb
I’m looking for a way to become
Bb
The person that I dreamt up
When I was 16
Cm Eb
Oh, nothing is ever enough
Bb
Ooh, baby it ain’t enough
Or what it may seem
Chorus:
Ab Eb Fm
Do you even know who you are?
Ab
I’m still trying to find
Eb Fm
A borrowed dream or a superstar?
Ab
Everybody wants to be
Eb Fm
Is life good to you, or is it bad?
Ab
I can’t tell anymore
Bb
Do you even know what you have?
No
Eb
Sorry girl
Bb
Tell a tale for me
Cm
‘Cause I’m wondering
How you really feel
Eb
I’m a lonely girl
Bb
I’ll tell a tale for you
Cm
‘Cause I’m just trying to make
All my dreams come true
Chorus:
Ab Eb Fm
Do you even know who you are?
Oh yeah, yeah
Ab Eb Fm
A borrowed dream or a superstar?
Ab
Oh, I wanted to be a star
Eb Fm
Is life good to you, or is it bad?
Ab
I can’t tell, I can’t tell anymore
Eb Fm
Do you even know what you have?
Ab
I guess not, I guess not
Eb Fm
Do you even know who you are?
Ab
I’m trying to find
Eb Fm
A rising dream, or a falling star?
Ab
Oh, I have all these dreams
Eb Fm
Is life good to you or is it bad?
Ab
I can’t tell anymore
Eb Fm
Do you even know what you have?
Oh, no, no.
