Song:      Lonely Girl
Album:     M!ssundaztood (2001)
tabbed by: gran.gizmo@web.de


The tuning is kinda tricky, you have to tune up your guitar a quarter(!) step to 
be able to play along with the record. I think this is the best song on Missundaztood, 
so it is worth the efford.

Intro:  Gm   Bb   Eb  Cm

Gm
  I can remember
     Bb
The very first time I cried
       Eb
How I wiped my eyes
                Cm
And buried the pain inside
Gm 
  All of my memories
Bb
Good and bad that’s passed
             Eb                Cm
Didn’t even take the time to realize
 Cm                          Eb
Staring at the cracks in the walls
                          Bb
’Cause I’m waiting for it all to come to an end
         Cm                      Eb
Still I curl up right under the bed
                            Bb
’Cause it’s takin’ over my head

All over again...


Chorus:

Ab        Eb                Fm
  Do you even know who you are?
                       Ab
I guess I’m trying to find
            Eb               Fm
A borrowed dream or a superstar?
                Ab
I want to be a star
         Eb                   Fm
Is life good to you, or is it bad?
                 Ab
I can’t tell anymore
        Eb                 Bb
Do you even know what you have?


Gm
  Lying awake
 Bb
Watching the sunlight
         Eb
How the birds will sing
      Cm
As I count the rings around my eyes
Gm
Constantly pushing
     Bb
The world I know aside
              Eb
I don’t even feel the pain
              Cm
I don’t even want to try
     Cm                   Eb
I’m looking for a way to become
                         Bb
The person that I dreamt up

When I was 16
     Cm               Eb
Oh, nothing is ever enough
                     Bb
Ooh, baby it ain’t enough

Or what it may seem


Chorus:

Ab       Eb               Fm
Do you even know who you are?
                     Ab
I’m still trying to find
             Eb             Fm
A borrowed dream or a superstar?
                   Ab
Everybody wants to be
         Eb                    Fm
Is life good to you, or is it bad?
                  Ab
I can’t tell anymore
                           Bb
Do you even know what you have?

No

Eb
Sorry girl
 Bb               
Tell a tale for me
            Cm
’Cause I’m wondering
               
How you really feel

      Eb
I’m a lonely girl
      Bb
I’ll tell a tale for you
          Cm
’Cause I’m just trying to make

All my dreams come true


Chorus:

Ab       Eb                Fm
 Do you even know who you are?
              
Oh yeah, yeah
Ab            Eb              Fm
 A borrowed dream or a superstar?
                      Ab
Oh, I wanted to be a star
         Eb                    Fm
Is life good to you, or is it bad?
                               Ab
I can’t tell, I can’t tell anymore
        Eb                 Fm
Do you even know what you have?
                       Ab
I guess not, I guess not

        Eb               Fm
Do you even know who you are?
               Ab
I’m trying to find
           Eb                 Fm
A rising dream, or a falling star?
                       Ab
Oh, I have all these dreams
         Eb                   Fm
Is life good to you or is it bad?
                  Ab
I can’t tell anymore
        Eb                 Fm                 
Do you even know what you have?

Oh, no, no.
