INTRO: G/C/G/C/G C G C G C G /C/G/C You laugh at the people who walk outside on the sidewalk G C G And you talk to yourself so much C G /C/G When you see other people you can't talk Am This time it's true D7 G G /C/G7 The charade is through Bm C /D7 And you can't seem to run away from you Away from you Am D7 And the haggard ex-lover of a long-time loser G C G Stands rejectedly by the door C G Em Am Doesn't Lenny live here anymore? D7 Are you sure? You sit at the desk To lose your life in a letter But the words don't seem to come and you know that they're(?) better And it's all so strange Pictures lose their frame And I'll bet you never guessed There was so much pain So much pain Until the haggard ex-lover of a long-time loser Stands rejectedly by the door Doesn't Lenny live here anymore? Are you sure? The moon, she shines too soon and simply sadly You loved your love so much that you'd strangle her madly And it's all so slow Time has ceased to flow And the whistling whore knows something you don't know And the haggard ex-lover of a long-time loser Stands rejectedly by the door Doesn't Lenny live here anymore? Are you sure? You swore you'd store your love for one time only Now you searched the books in vain for better word for lonely And you're torn apart No other love will start And you, you'd like to steal a happy heart A happy heart Then the haggard ex-lover of a long-time loser Stands rejectedly by the door Doesn't Lenny live here anymore? Are you sure? The fat official smiles at the pass on the border And the hungry broom makes sure that the room is in order You pull the shade All the beds are made As your lips caress the razor of the blade Of the blade And the haggard ex-lover of a long-time loser Stands rejectedly by the door Doesn't Lenny live here anymore? Are you sure? The soul of the sun shines just outsde of the winter The shoulders charged, the boards of the barricade is splintered Now at last alone The flashlight is shown Hello inside is there anybody home? Anybody home? It's the haggard ex-lover of a long-time loser Standing rejectedly by the door Doesn't Lenny live here anymore? Are you sure? Are you sure? Are you sure?
