FF Bb majorBb FF


Verse 1:
  FF                 Bb majorBb       FF
The streets are dark and empty and you walk them all alone
  FF                G7G7        C7C7
You think about your love affair and wonder what went wrong
  FF                  Bb majorBb      FF
You go to bed each night and pray you'll never see the dawn
 Bb majorBb       FF        C7C7        FF
Afraid of each tomorrow with its heartless cold unknown

Chorus:
  FF        Bb majorBb     FF        C majorC        C7C7      FF
And that's what it's like to be lonesome, 'cause without love its such an empty world
  FF        Bb majorBb     FF     C majorC         C7C7       FF
And that's what it's like to be lonesome I know 'cause I'm a mighty lonesome girl

Verse 2:
   FF                 Bb majorBb        FF
(You) search to find a tavern where the music's playing loud
  FF                  G7G7       C7C7
You try to lose your heartaches in the shadows of the crowd
    FF                Bb majorBb           FF
But the happy couples make you think of things that might have been
    Bb majorBb        FF           C7C7      FF
And you have to fight the teardrops 'til you're by yourself again
