[Verse 1]
C        G          D             Em
Down the street the dogs begin to bark
C        G                     D          Em
Sirens are screaming somewhere off in the dark
C                G            D          Em
I pull up to the house I just sat in the car
C                   G              D     G  C G D Em C G D G
And listened to the pounding of my heart


[Verse 2]
     C         G        D            Em
I’ve been everywhere, I drove up and down
     C           G        D            Em
Just looking for you, but you can’t be found
        C              G                 D        Em
I don’t know what it’s like where you’re hanging around
         C        G        D          G
But it’s lonely tonight on my side of town


[Chorus]
C             G          D
Somewhere the lights are shining
C             G     D
Somewhere the music plays
C          D            Em
Somebody’s holding you, darling
    C                    D
Are you getting carried away?
        C                    G
Well, I don’t know what it’s like
             D       Em
Where you’re hanging around
         C        G        D          G
But it’s lonely tonight on my side of town
           C        G        D          G
Yeah, it’s lonely tonight on my side of town

[Verse 3]
C       G          D            Em
Are you covered in diamonds and pearls
C           G                D      Em
Have you discovered what you wanted girl?
C          G                D      Em
I know you told me it could not be found
C    G       D          G
Over here on my side of town


[Chorus]
C             G          D
Somewhere the lights are shining
C             G     D
Somewhere the music plays
C          D            Em
Somebody’s holding you, darling
    C                    D
Are you getting carried away?
        C                    G
Well, I don’t know what it’s like
             D       Em
Where you’re hanging around
         C        G        D          G
But it’s lonely tonight on my side of town
           C        G        D          G
Yeah, it’s lonely tonight on my side of town
