Am I That Lonely Tonight

Tom: C

C                      Am
I hear my father on the radio
       Dm                G
singing Take me home again.
C                           Am
Three hundred miles from the Carolina coast
       Dm                 G
and I'm skin and bones again.

Am                           C
Sometimes I wish that I could get away
Am                           G
sometimes I wish that he'd just call
         F               G           C
Am I that lonely tonight? I don't know.

C                          Am
There's just something in a night like this
        Dm              G
that can be so hard to take.
C                  Am
Oncoming headlights through the mountain mist
Dm                    G
too close for comfort, too much at stake
C                  Am
So turned the radio down,
Dm                       G
rolled the windows up and say to myself that
C       Am        Dm        G
I thought I'd be a better man.



Am                           C
Sometimes I wish that I could find a way
Am                       G
where I don't feel so all alone
         F               G          C
Am I that lonely tonight? I don't know.

Am                      C
Sometimes I dream that I have found a place
Am                       G
where I don't feel so all alone
           Dm
Am I that lonely tonight? 
           F
Am I that lonely tonight?
           G
Am I that lonely tonight?
           C
I don't know.
