Foo Fighters - Lonely As You
Album: One By One
Instrument: Guitar
Tuning: eBGDAD
Tabbed By: boogybren
The originally posted tab for this song was missing some subtleties
and this is my attempt to correct them. This was tough to transpose
as there is a lot of two guitar action here.
If you listen close, you can here low notes moving up to higher ones
(particularly in the verses) but also high notes coming down to low.

* Lyrics *
What would I do, lonely as you
Pleasure or pain I can't choose
What would I do, lonely as you
Pleasure or pain I can't choose
Wake up your dreaming, I can't stand your screaming
Drowning out these prayers, just some words without meaning
Spare all the preaching, my secret's worth keeping
No one understands like I do
Keep out of reach I'm your lead and a leashing
Hide behind these masks though they still see right through them
Every now and then, you're down and out my friend
Down and out again
Down and out again
Down and out again
But I'm down with you
One more time for the last time
One more time for release
One more time for the last time
Everyone wants to believe
Blame it on youth all these years I've been losing
Blame it on the past it's the last place I knew you
Blame all the children, they're raging and ruined
Blame it on the black and the blue
Every now and then, you're down and out my friend
Down and out again
Down and out again
Down and out again
But I'm down with you
One more time for the last time
One more time for release
One more time for the last time
Everyone wants to believe
Every now and then, you're down and out my friend
Down and out again
Down and out again
Down and out again
But I'm down with you
One more time for the last time
One more time for release
One more time for the last time
Everyone wants to believe
One more time for the last time
One more time for release
One more time for the last time
Everyone wants to believe
One more time for the last time
One more time for release
One more time for the very last time
Everyone wants to believe, alright
