Song: The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter
By:   Nerina Pallot

[intro:]  |Fm7 |    |Dbmaj7|    |Bbm7|    |Csus  |C7   {let ring}|

[verse: 1]
                           Fm7
I think about him every day
                    Dbmaj7
Every starless city night
      Bbm7
Where hours slide slowly
      Csus        C7
Like honey off a knife
 
[verse: 2]
                       Fm7
Curse the languid afternoons
                   Dbmaj7
On lonely greying streets
 Bbm7
Footsteps I have wasted
     Csus           C7
Perchance we should meet
 
[bridge: 2]
     Dbmaj7       Fm7
Come rain, come thunder
     Dbmaj7   C {hit}{hit}
The heart                is a lonely     
 
[chorus:]
 Bbm7             Eb            Fm7
Hunter   I don't want to forget him
         Gm7         Ab       Bbm7 
But I've got to, I know it's stupid
    Eb           Fm7
So foolish, so nothing
    Gm7        Ab
But what can I do
        Bbm7           Eb
When it rains and it thunders
   Fm7            Dm7b5
It rains and it thunders
        Bbm7   C {hit}{hit}
And my heart      
             Fm7      Bb
is a lonely hunter
             Fm7      Bb

 
[verse: 3]
                     Fm7
So I wonder all the time
                    Dbmaj7
Do I ever cross his mind
    Bbm7
And if he imagines
     Csus       C7
His mouth upon mine, oh oh
 
[bridge: 2]
   Dbmaj7      Fm7
It pulls me under
     Dbmaj7   C {hit}{hit}
The heart                is a lonely  
 
 
[chorus:]
 Bbm7             Eb            Fm7
Hunter   I don't want to forget him
         Gm7         Ab       Bbm7 
But I've got to, I know it's stupid
    Eb           Fm7
So foolish, so nothing
    Gm7        Ab
But what can I do
        Bbm7           Eb
When it rains and it thunders
   Fm7            Dm7b5
It rains and it thunders
        Bbm7   C {hit}{hit}
And my heart      
             Fm7      Bb
is a lonely hunter
             Fm7      Bb
