Key: FF | Capo: 5fr |  Left-Handed 

Intro: F       C    G C G   F


You're asking me to open up
                                     C                      F
I'm trying my best to give enough to keep this love alive
   
It wouldn't be so hard for me to do
                                  C            G
If it hadn't have been for all my heart's been through


Chorus:
N.C.            C
But once you've learned to be lonely
                                 F
And lonely is the only thing you've known
             C
It begins to feel like home
                G
It becomes your comfort zone
            C
Once you've learned to be without someone
                                 F
And settle for the silence of an empty room
       C
Oh, it changes you
          G
There's a lot you have to undo
                         C             F
Once you've learned to be lonely



It becomes a habit of the heart
                              C                    F
To be afraid to even start to try and love again

I want to give you myself to you
                                  C                    G
But I've been alone so long that I'm scared, scared to move


Chorus:
N.C.            C
But once you've learned to be lonely
                                 F
And lonely is the only thing you've known
             C
It begins to feel like home
                G
It becomes your comfort zone
                C
And once you've learned to be without someone
                                 F
And settle for the silence of an empty room
       C
Oh, it changes you
          G
There's a lot you have to undo
                         C         F
Once you've learned to be lonely


Bridge:
                                        C              F
I've built these walls, but I feel them falling down
                            G  C   G
Touch by touch your love is my way out


Chorus:
N.C.            C
But once you've learned to be lonely
                                 F
And lonely is the only thing you've known
             C
It begins to feel like home
                G
It becomes your comfort zone
                C
And once you've learned to be without someone
                                 F
And settle for the silence of an empty room
       C
Oh, it changes you
          G
There's a lot you have to undo
                         C  
Once you've learned to be lonely
        G
There's a lot you have to undo
                        C
Once you've learned to be lonely
