Ill Take Lonely Tonight Chords & Lyrics - Tim Minchin

[INTRO]
[G] [Em] [G] [Em] [Am] [C]

[VERSE 1]
[G]I'll take [Em]lonely tonight [G]
Your [Em]offer is [G]kind
And [Em]I must con[G]fess
That [Em]I find your [Am]casual caresses
And [Am]that pretty dress
Pretty [C]hard to resist

And [Am]Christ what a night
I think [Am]you're pretty high
I know [C]I'm pretty pissed

[VERSE 2]
But [G]I'll take [Em]lonely tonight [G]
Though [Em]I'm not de[G]nying
I[Em] hate being [G]alone

[Em]Even so, I [Am]know regret in the making
You're one of those [C]others I swore I'd for[Cmaj7]sake
And al[Am]though this extraction is taking
A gr[C]eat act of will

[CHORUS 1]
[Am]I got a girl
Has my [Am]heart in a house
On a[G] hill

So though I am [Am]hungry and tempted
I'm [Am]sorry, I'm not gonna [C]bite
I'm gonna take lonely [G] [Em] [G] [Em]

[VERSE 3]
[G]I'll take [Em]lonely tonight [G]
Though [Em]I know I [G]might
Well have [Em]future re[G]grets
That [Em]I didn't [Am]more often take up these chances
For what is life [C]for
But to [C]share, drink and dances
And teenager [Am]me would be screaming his pants off
Begging [C]me to stay

[CHORUS 2]
But my [Am]girl has my heart
In a [Am]house half a plan[G]et away
And I'd rather [Am]murder
Than [Am]hurt her
So [Am]sorry, though it feels so [C]right
I'm gonna take lonely [G]tonight [D]

[BRIDGE]
Od[Em]ysseus wasn't strong enough
To [D]endure the silent song
So he [C]made the sailors tie him to a mast
And Jesus spent [Em]forty days and forty nights
He [D]stood his ground and fought his fight
The [C]Devil tried, but couldn't break his fast

If this is [D]true
The Devil should have offered him [C]you

[C]God damn it


[VERSE 4]
[G]I'll take [Em]lonely tonight [G]
In [Em]my three point [G]five star[Em] boutique ho[G]tel
Where [Em]I will spend [Am]25 bucks
On mini bar snacks and pass [C]out on my phone
And [Am]wake in 4 hours or so
Soaked in relief to find [C]I am alone
With [Am]only the wrappers of Pringles and Snickers
For [C]which to atone
[C]Blissfully lonely
