[Intro]
F Bb F
[Verse 1]
F Bb F
The streets are dark and empty and you walk them all alone
F G7 C7
You think about your love affair and wonder what went wrong
F Bb F
You go to bed each night and pray you'll never see the dawn
Bb F C7 F
Afraid of each tomorrow with its heartless cold unknown
[Chorus]
F Bb F C C7 F
And that's what it's like to be lonesome, 'cause without love its such an empty world
F Bb F C C7 F
And that's what it's like to be lonesome I know 'cause I'm a mighty lonesome girl
[Instrumental]

You
[Verse 2]
F Bb F
(You) search to find a tavern where the music's playing loud
F G7 C7
You try to lose your heartaches in the shadows of the crowd
F Bb F
But the happy couples make you think of things that might have been
Bb F C7 F
And you have to fight the teardrops 'til you're by yourself again
[Outro]
F/C F/D F/E F Bb F C C7 F
And that's what it's like to be lonesome, 'cause without love its such an empty world
F Bb F C C7 F
And that's what it's like to be lonesome I know 'cause I'm a mighty lonesome girl
C C7 F C7 F
I know 'cause I'm a mighty lonesome girl
