C Em Am Am

Are you lonesome tonight, do you miss me tonight?

x

C C7 F F

Are you sorry we drifted apart?

x

G G G7 G7

Does your memory stray to a brighter summer day

x

G7 G7 C C

When I kissed you and called you sweetheart?

x

C7 C7 F F

Do the chairs in your parlor seem empty and bare?

x

D D Dm G

Do you gaze at your doorstep and picture me there?

x

C Em D D

Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again?

x

Dm G7 C G7

Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight.

-----(Talking verses, play the same chords)---------
x

C Em Am

I wonder if you are lonesome tonight

x

Am C

You know someone said that the world's a stage

x

And we each must play a part.

x

C7 F F

Fate had me playing "in love" with you as my sweetheart.

x

G

Act one was where we met, I loved you at first glance

x

G7 G7

You read your line so cleverly and never missed a cue

x

G7 G7 C

Then came act two, you seemed to change, you acted strange

x

And why, I've never known.

x

C7 C7 F

Honey, you lied when you said you loved me

x

F

And I had no cause to doubt you.

x

D7

But I'd rather go on hearing your lies

x

Dm G

Than to go on living without you.

x

C Em D

Now the stage is bare and I'm standing there

x

D Dm

With emptiness all around

x

G7

And if you won't come back to me

x

C G7

Then they can bring the curtain down.

C Em D D

Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again?

Tell me dear are you lonesome tonight.
