I've transposed the piano breaks to guitar; they require some thumb work to keep bass like the
left hand on a piano, but they sound good considering the higher register.

INTRO
VERSE 2:
I roll over in bed looking for someone to touch
There's a girl that I know of that don't ask for much
She's homely and she's cranky, and her hair's in a net
And I'm lonely, but I ain't that lonely yet
CHORUS:
F C
I am a friend when I need one, I need someone to be one
F (F#) G Gsus4 G
I'll take anybody I can get
C F C
Sometimes I want to call you, but I feel like a pest
C G C Csus4 C
And I'm lonely, but I ain't that lonely yet

VERSE 3:
I went down to the river filled with regret
Looked down and I wondered if there was any reason left
And just before my lungs could get wet
I'm lonely, but I ain't that lonely yet

And I love my sister, lord knows how I've missed her
F (F#) G Gsus4 G
She loves me and she knows I won't forget
C G F C
And sometimes I get jealous of all her little pets
G C
And I get lonely, but I ain't that lonely yet
G C C C
Yeah, I get lonely, but I ain't that lonely yet
