[Intro]
C G C G
[Chorus]
C G There's a lot of lonely people tonight Dm G Dm G Trying to make it through 'til the morning light F G Am D There's me and you, babe, that's alright C G C There's a lot of lonely people tonight
[Verse 1]
D# D G I'm holdin' on tight to my pillow D# D G I wish it had a life of its own F C D7 Starin' at the ceilin', such a funny feelin' G But nobody home
[Verse 2]
D# D G But I know you're out there somewhere D# D G That you feel the same way too F C Now my only problem is trying to find D7 G A way of getting through to you
[Chorus]
C G There's a lot of lonely people tonight Dm G Dm G Trying to make it through 'til the morning light F G Am D There's me and you, babe, that's alright C G C There's a lot of lonely people tonight
[Verse 3]
D# D G I guess we share the same old dream D# D G Or maybe it's the same old lie F C There's only one thing I'm sure of, now D G And that's our time keeps rolling by
[Verse 4]
D# D G And far too many days run out D# D G And nights begin this way F C With my half of our hopeful couple D7 G Trying to hold the dark at bay
[Chorus]
C G There's a lot of lonely people tonight Dm G Dm G Trying to make it through 'til the morning light F G Am D There's me and you, babe, that's alright C G C There's a lot of lonely people tonight
[Bridge]
Am F E You can meet me on a city street Am C F D Or meet me by a country stream Am F E You can meet me on a mountain top, babe D7 G But don't you meet me in my dreams Am C F You can meet me tomorrow morning E Am C F D Baby, maybe you met me back when Am F E You can meet me now inside this song D7 G 'Cause I don't wanna sleep alone again
[Chorus]
C G There's a lot of lonely people tonight Dm G Dm G Trying to make it through 'til the morning light F G Am D There's me and you, babe, that's alright C G C 'Cause there's a lot of lonely people C G So many lonely people C G C G There's a lot of lonely people all over the world Dm G Dm G We even lay with children and beautiful girls F G Am D Yes, there's me and you, babe, but that's alright C G C 'Cause there's a lot of lonely people tonight
