[Verse 1]
D G
When lonely came to town, she showed up at my door
A D
She scattered all her luggage on the floor
D G
She sat down in the kitchen, poured a glass of tea
A D
When lonely came to town to visit me
[Verse 2]
D G
When lonely settled in, she moved from room to room
A D
It was clear she wasn't leavin' soon
D G
From now on, we'd be together night and day
A D
When lonely settled in, she came to stay
[Chorus]
Bm E7
When lonely comes around, there's nothin' you can do
G D
For a while, she's gonna have her way with you
Bm E7
If I'd had any idea she would stay so long
G A
I'd have locked the door, I'd have never left the porch light on
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
D G
When lonely packs her bags, it won't be soon enough
A D
This house is too small for the both of us
D G
Why did she have to bring along your memory?
A D
When lonely came to town to visit me
