Lonesome Lullaby Lyrics & Chords By Electric Light Orchestra

I listened to the whine for way too long
Time for me to hear a different song
I waited overtime for things to turn around
Tired of waiting for it all to hit the ground.

You said you knew all about it
What was right and what was wrong
You pulled the wool over the eyes of everyone
Maybe I was weak when I should've been strong.

Cry, baby, cry
Tell me 'bout your lonesome lullaby
Cry, baby, cry
Tell me 'bout your lonesome lullaby.

You took me by surprise and like a shot in the dark (shot in the dark)
You showed yourself in your truest light (truest light)
You saved yourself by saving nobody else
You must have cringed when you heard them tell.

Cry, baby, cry
Tell me 'bout your lonesome lullaby
Cry, baby, cry
Tell me 'bout your lonesome lullaby.

You took the wrong turn at the city of dreams (city of dreams)
You ended up back where you came from it seems (came from it seems)
Back there to where there's nothing else to do
Back there where you can sit and think of only you.

Cry, baby, cry
Tell me 'bout your lonesome lullaby
Cry, baby, cry
Tell me 'bout your lonesome lullaby.

Cry
Tell me 'bout your lonesome lullaby
Cry
Tell me 'bout your lonesome lullaby...

...Your lonesome lullaby.
