        G#m               B
It's a long way to nowhere
And I'm leaving very soon
On the way we pass so close
To the back side of the moon

Hey, join the traveler
If you've got nowhere to go
Hang your head and take my hand
It's the only road I know

Chorus:
C#m  D#m          G#m
Oh, lonely is the word, yeah yeah yeah

I've been higher than stardust
I've been seen upon the sun
I used to count in millions then
But now I only count in one

C'mon, join the traveler
If you've got nowhere to go
Hang your head and take my hand
It's the only road I know

Chorus:
Yeah, lonely is the word
Got to be the saddest song I've ever heard

Yeah, lonely is the name
Maybe life's a losing game
