Version 1[Intro] |G |D |G |G [Verse 1] G C G The streets're dark and empty and you walk them all alone A7 D You think about your love affair and wonder what went wrong G C G You go to bed each night and pray you'll never see the dawn C G D G Afraid of each tomorrow with its heartless cold unknown [Chorus] C G D G And that's what it's like to be lonesome with a heart a broken love taught to cry C G D G And that's what it's like to be lonesome I know 'cause I'm a mighty lonesome guy [Instrumental] |G |G D7 |D G |G [Verse 2] G C G You search to find a tavern where the music is playing loud G A7 D You try to lose your heartaches in the laughter of the crowd G C G But the happy couples make you think of things that might have been C G D G And you have to fight the teardrops till you're by yourself again [Chorus] C G D G And that's what it's like to be lonesome with a heart a broken love taught to cry C G D G And that's what it's like to be lonesome I know 'cause I'm a mighty lonesome guy
