[Verse]
C Em Are you lonesome tonight, Am Do you miss me tonight? C C7 F Are you sorry we drifted apart? G7 Does your memory stray, to a brighter summer day G7 Gaug C When I kissed you and called you sweetheart? C7 F Do the chairs in your parlor seem empty and bare? D7 G Do you gaze at your doorstep, and picture me there? C Em D7 Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again? Dm7 G7 C Gaug Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?
[Verse] spoken
| C | Em | Am | % | I wonder if you're lonesome tonight | C | C7 | [ F ] You know someone said ... the world’s a stage and each must play a part. | F | % | They had me ... (mumbling) ... plus tax | G7 | % | % | % | You read your line so cleverly and never missed a cue
Then came act two, you seemed to change and you acted strange
And why I'll never know.
| C | % | F | % | Honey (who am I talking to?), you lied when you said you loved me
And I had no cause to doubt you.
But I'd rather go on hearing your lies
Than go on living without you.
| C | Em | D7 | % | Now the stage is bare and I'm standing there
Without any air (oh no)
| Dm7 | G7 | C | Gaug | And if you won't come back to me
Then make them bring the curtain down.
[Coda]
C Em D7 Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again? Dm7 G7 C C Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight? (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooooh)
