[Intro] Am E Am F E AM [Verse] Am Every evening when the sun goes down I sit here in my room Am E Am And the lamplight streaming over me projects my lonely gloom C F E My counterpart in agony mocks each tear that falls Am E Am And I cast a lonesome shadow on these lonely, lonely walls [Verse] Am E Am He's always by my side at night no matter where I go Am E Am He lurks out in the darkness or in the neon's glow C F E He follows me across the steps and up and down the hall Am E Am And I cast a lonesome shadow on these lonely, lonely walls [Verse] Am E Am I sit and watch the candle and the flicker of the flame Am E Am My writhing shadow twists and turns as though it is in pain C F E I'm trying to escape the memory my mind recalls Am E Am And I cast a lonesome shadow on these lonely, lonely walls [Verse] Am E Am The image of a love I lost and all the things I'd planned Am E Am Are as empty as this bottle that I hold in my hand C F E My soul is buried in the depths of love and life's pitfalls Am E Am And I cast a lonesome shadow on these lonely, lonely walls Am E Am I cast a lonesome shadow on these lonely, lonely walls
