Where Lonely People Go

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

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.
