She calls me up and says "Baby, it's a lonely ol' night"
D                         G                     D
I don't know, I'm just so scared and lonely all at the same time
G                     C                   G
Nobody told us it was gonna work out this way
      C
No no no no no
D                      G                      D
I guess they knew we'd work it out in our own way

C                 G

C            G
Can I put my arms around you?

Radio playing softly some singer's sad, sad song
D                                G
He's singin about stanin' in the shadows of love
                 D
I guess he feels awfully alone
G                C               G
She says "I know exactly what he means
          C
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah"
D                    G                                   D
And it's a sad, sad, feelin' when you're livin' on those in betweens,

C                 G

C            G

She calls me baby, She calls everybody baby
D                 G                     D
It's a lonely ol' night, but ain't they all?
