D C D/B E7 A /
A E7
For someone who's got everything life can still be rough
A
If things are what you're looking for there's never quite enough
A7 D
And all the tea in China wont make a house a home
A E7 A E7
'Cause you can be a mil-lionaire and still be sleeping alone
A E7
Oh there might be some one night stands to ease the pain inside
A
Or someone you can call around if you've lost all your pride
D
Please don't be mistaken, I don't mean to put that down.
A E7 A G D A
I know there's times when any thing is better than sleeping alone
N.C E7 A
Sleeping alone can make a bottle just about your dearest friend
E7 Bm D E7
Sleeping alone can make you swear to God this night will never end
A E7
You know that it's not company you are looking for
A
You know it's not just pleasure, you know it's something more
D
You know it's not the answer if it's not like coming home
A E7 A G D A
If the one who's there doesn't really care, it's worse sleeping alone.
N.C E7 A
Sleeping alone can make a bottle just about your dearest friend
E7 Bm D E7
Sleeping alone can make you swear to God this night will never end
A E7
For someone who's got everything life can still be rough
A
If things are what you're looking for there's never quite enough
D
And all the tea in China won't make a house a home
A E7 A
You can be a mil-lionaire and still be sleeping alone
D A E7 D
You can be a mil-lionaire and still be sleeping alone
