Dark Sad Lonely Knight Chords

Capo 7th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

APoor Master Bruce, poor Mr. DWayne

 Lonely caboose on a one car tArain. D

AAnd it pains me to watch you amble alDong

 This track of loneliness I laid dAown for you. D

AI remember that horrible night, the nDight you were split in two

 And I swore I'd proAtect you (and I haven't). D

ASo I built a wall all around you,D but the wall was too tall

 And it blocked out aAll of the bDirds and the sun.

(Chorus)

 I tried to raise you riCght, I tried to raise you prEoper.

 I tried to be a Ammentor and a friend, and a mBama and a papa too.

FAnd insulate you from Fmany outside source of frCight.

 And make bloody Dcertain you'll never see anoDmther

 Dark, sad, lonely nCight.

(same chords as above)

(Verse 2)

As I look at my life I see something's not right

Like a thousand percent.

And I wonder what it is, how it is that it's always just me here

Crying alone at the end of the night, ten thousand percent.

I put most of the blame on Alfred.

How come he couldn't take the bullet intended for mama and papa?

I never had a pony. I never had pets.

Just a bullshit butler, who builds bullshit jets.

(Chorus 2)

Oh! I'm falling apart, I need a friend.

Somebody to hold on to. Somebody to confide in.

Think of the children, next time you gun down their mama and papa.

Because they probably don't have another mama and papa.

(Verse 3)

I was seein' a girl for a while, a couple days anyway

And I told her I loved her.

She said you're such a good friend and that rash is bad

You should really go see a doctor.

Then she just disappeared, sent me some text about bad timing

And my love being selfish.

Then my doctor called up and the blood came back and as it turns out

I'm allergic to peanuts and shellfish.

I loved peanuts and shellfish once.

(Chorus 3)

I'm falling apart, I'm lacking punch.

I can barely eat. This morning I barely touched my brunch.

Two spoons of oatmeal, a couple of nuts, and half a banana.

And like my soul, the banana was bruised and black.

I'm falling apart, I need a friend.

Somebody to hold on to, somebody to confide in.

Somebody to ride in the cockpit

Co-captain of the friendship ship.

Or maybe just a friend ship.

If I had a buddy, we could discuss

Just what we call friendship.

 IEnding want tDo be somebody's buddy

GSomebody who can be my buddy back.

DI want to be somebody's buddy

GAnybody but a dumbshit butler.
