Where Lonely People Go

• E

       E 
It was late at night as well as I remember 
        A 
She was sitting in an empty bus depot 
B7 
No one had to tell me she was lonely 
      E       
Cause I know all the places where lonely people go 
    E 
She smiled but then I knew that she'd been crying 
    A 
I'm sure she didn't mean for it to show 
B7    
But I can tell when someone's heart is broken 
      E 
Cause I've known all the heartaches that lonely people know 
  E                              
I said come live with me, she answered why not 
            A 
And if it's wrong, I said, we'll make it right 
B7 
But right or wrong we belong together 
      E 
Cause lonely people need each other, especially at night 
 
 
F 
She said to me don't promise me tomorrow 
     Bb 
Just give as much today as you can spare 
C7     
Cause if we start to look ahead tomorrow 
   F 
We may run out of time before we're there 
F 
I've had lovers, I've had friends, and I can tell you 
Bb 
Friends will help you get your troubles off your mind 
    C7 
But lovers they bring all their troubles with them 
              F 
And when they leave you they leave a lot of loneliness behind 
 
 
F# 
She wasn't strong, but life don't last forever 
B 
Still I thought we'd have at least a year or so 
C#7 
But then one day she packed it in and left me 
  F# 
I guess the good Lord promised her a better place to go 
  F# 
I told myself this really didn't happen 
  B 
I tried to pray as I began to kneel 
  C#7 
I looked down at the place where they had put her 
     F# 
When I touched the dirt I knew that it was real 
     F#  
Well tonight I'll find some all night bar that's open 
B 
I may run into someone there I know 
C#7 
Cause when you're down, you need someone to talk to 
    F# 
And I know all the places where lonely people go.
