F Bb F


Verse 1:
    F                                  Bb             F
The streets are dark and empty and you walk them all alone
    F                                G7               C7
You think about your love affair and wonder what went wrong
    F                                    Bb            F
You go to bed each night and pray you'll never see the dawn
  Bb             F               C7               F
Afraid of each tomorrow with its heartless cold unknown

Chorus:
    F                Bb         F                C                C7            F
And that's what it's like to be lonesome, 'cause without love its such an empty world
    F                Bb         F          C                 C7              F
And that's what it's like to be lonesome I know 'cause I'm a mighty lonesome girl

Verse 2:
      F                                 Bb               F
(You) search to find a tavern where the music's  playing loud
   F                                   G7              C7
You try to lose your heartaches in the shadows of the crowd
        F                               Bb                     F
But the happy couples make you think of things that might have been
        Bb                F                     C7            F
And you have to fight the teardrops 'til you're by yourself again

         And that's what it's like to be lonesome, 'cause without love its such an empty world
    F                Bb         F          C                 C7              F
And that's what it's like to be lonesome I know 'cause I'm a mighty lonesome girl
  C                 C7              F     C7 F
