Intro

)

Note: The final D and A are only played half a measure throughout the song

It was a lonely holiday

 I was alone -- you were away

 In Fayetteville or in another state

 There's so many towns I hate

 When you leave me, it breaks me like a bone

 But it's never as bad as when you come home

 Thought so much about suicide

 Parts of me have already died...

Chorus

Lonely -- baby I'm not lonely

 Baby I'm not -- I've got my imaginary friends

Happy -- baby I'm so happy

 Baby I'm so -- I've got my imaginary friends

 And if you don't love me, would you please pretend?

It was a lonely holiday

 I was alone -- I was afraid

 The bedroom walls were closing in

 It must be closing time again

 When you leave me, it breaks me like the note

 That you said got stuck in your throat

 Thought so much about suicide

 Parts of me have already died...
