[C] [G]
[C] [G]
[C] There's a lot of [G] lonely people [C] tonight
[G]
[Dm] Trying to [G] make it through [Dm] to the morning [G] light
[F] Me [G] and you [Am] babe, that's [D] alright
[C] There's a lot of [G] lonely people [C] tonight
[Dm] I'm [Eb] holding [Dm] on tight [G] to my pillow
I [Eb] wish it [Dm] had a life of [G] its own
[F] Staring at the ceiling, [C] such a funny feeling
[D] With nobody [G] home, [Eb] but I know [Dm] you're out [G] there somewhere
And [Eb] that you feel [Dm] the same [G] way too
Now [F] my only [C] problem is trying to [D] find a way of getting through [G] to you
[C] There's a lot of [G] lonely people [C] tonight
[G]
[Dm] Trying to [G] make it through [Dm] to the morning [G] light
[F] There's me [G] and you [Am] babe, that's [D] alright
[C] There's a lot of [G] lonely people [C] tonight
I
[Eb] guess we [Dm] share [G] the same old dream
[Eb] Or maybe [Dm] it's the same [G] old lie
[F] There's only one thing [C] I'm sure of now
And [D] that's our time keeps rolling [G] by
[Eb] And far [Dm] too many [G] days run [Eb] out
And nights [Dm] begin [G] this way
[F] With my half of [C] our hopeful couple
[D] Trying to hold a dog [G] today
There's [C] a lot of [G] lonely people [C] tonight
[G]
[Dm] Trying to [G] make it through [Dm] to the morning [G] light
[F] There's me [G] and you [Am] babe, that's alright
[C] There's a lot of [G] lonely people [C] tonight
[Am] You can meet me [C] [F] on a city [E] street
[Am] Or meet me [C] by a country [F] street
[D]
[Am] You can meet [C] me on [F] a mountain [E] top babe
[D] But don't you meet me in [G] my dreams
[Am] You can meet me [C] tomorrow [F] [E] morning
[Am] Maybe, maybe [C] you met me [F] back when
[D]
[Am] You can meet me [C] now [F] inside [E] this song
Cause [D] I don't wanna sleep alone [G] again
[C] There's a lot of [G] lonely people [C] tonight
[G]
[Dm] Trying to [G] make it through [Dm] to the morning [G] light
[F] There's me [G] and you [Am] babe, that's [D] alright
Cause [C] there's a lot of [G] lonely people
[C] So many [G] lonely people
[C] There's a lot of [G] lonely people [C] all over [G] the world
[Dm] Even [G] little children [Dm] and beautiful [G] girls
[F] Yes, there's me [G] and you [Am] babe, but that's [D] alright
Cause [C] there's a lot of [G] lonely people [C] tonight
