Dm G7 C G7
Tell me dear are you lonesome tonight.
(Talking verses,play the same chords)
I wonder if you are lonesome tonight
You know someone said that the world is a stage
And you must play a part.
Fate had me playing in love twes my sweet heart.
Act one was when I met you, I loved you at first glance
You read your line so cleverly and never missed a 'q'
Then came act 2, you seemed to change and you acted strange
And why I'll never know.
Honey, you're lying 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.
Now the stage is bare and I'm standing there
With emptiness all around
And if you won't come back to me
Then make them bring the curtain down.
(sing again)
C Em D D
Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again?
Dm G7 C G7
Tell me dear are you lonesome tonight.
