Intro: G C G C G 
C   G            C          G        C          G        C G C 
You laugh at the people who walk outside on the sidewalk 
        G            C       G 
And you talk to yourself so much 
                C             G          C G 
when you see other people you can't talk 
               Am 
This time it's true 
D7  G          G       C G7 
The charade is through 
    Bm                              C   D7 
And you can't seem to run away from you 
Away from you 
        Am                              D7 
And the haggard ex-lover of a long-time loser 
          G        C      G 
Stands rejectedly by the door 
C       G     Em            Am 
Doesn't Lenny live here anymore? 
        D7 
Are you sure? 

You sit at the desk 
To lose your life in a letter 
But the words don't seem to come and you know that they're(?) better 
and it's all so strange 
Pictures lose their frame 
And I'll bet you never guessed 
There was so much pain 
So much pain 
Until the haggard ex-lover of a long-time loser 
Stands rejectedly by the door 
Doesn't Lenny live here anymore? 
Are you sure? 

The moon, she shines too soon and simply sadly 
You loved your love so much that you'd strangle her madly 
And it's all so slow 
Time has ceased to flow 
And the whistling whore knows something you don't know 
And the haggard ex-lover of a long-time loser 
Stands rejectedly by the door 
Doesn't Lenny live here anymore? 
Are you sure? 

You swore you'd store your love for one time only 
Now you searched the books in vain for better word for lonely 
And you're torn apart 
No other love will start 
And you, you'd like to steal a happy heart 
A happy heart 
Then the haggard ex-lover of a long-time loser 
Stands rejectedly by the door 
Doesn't Lenny live here anymore? 
Are you sure? 

The fat official smiles at the pass on the border 
And the hungry broom makes sure that the room is in order 
You pull the shade 
All the beds are made 
As your lips caress the razor of the blade 
Of the blade 
And the haggard ex-lover of a long-time loser 
Stands rejectedly by the door 
Doesn't Lenny live here anymore? 
Are you sure? 

The soul of the sun shines just outsde of the winter 
The shoulders charged, the boards of the barricade is splintered 
Now at last alone 
The flashlight is shown 
Hello inside is there anybody home? 
Anybody home? 
It's the haggard ex-lover of a long-time loser 
Standing rejectedly by the door 
Doesn't Lenny live here anymore? 
Are you sure? 
Are you sure? 
Are you sure?
