Standard (EADGBE)

Please lock me away

 And don't allow the day

 Here inside, where I hide with my loneliness

 I don't care what they say, I won't stay

 In a world without love

Birds sing out of tune

 And rain clouds hide the moon

 I'm OK, here I'll stay with my loneliness

 I don't care what they say, I won't stay

 In a world without love

So I'll wait, and in a while,

I will see my true love smile

She may come, I know not when,

When she does, I'll know,

 So baby until then

 Please lock me away

 And don't allow the day

 Here inside, where I hide with my loneliness

 I don't care what they say, I won't stay

 In a world without love

I don't care what they say, I won't stay

 In a world without love
