E
It was late at night as well as I remember
A
She was sitting in an empty bus depot
B7
No one had to tell me she was lonely
E
Cause I know all the places where lonely people go
E
She smiled but then I knew that she'd been crying
A
I'm sure she didn't mean for it to show
B7
But I can tell when someone's heart is broken
E
Cause I've known all the heartaches that lonely people know
E
I said come live with me, she answered why not
A
And if it's wrong, I said, we'll make it right
B7
But right or wrong we belong together
E
Cause lonely people need each other, especially at night
F
She said to me don't promise me tomorrow
Bb
Just give as much today as you can spare
C7
Cause if we start to look ahead tomorrow
F
We may run out of time before we're there
F
I've had lovers, I've had friends, and I can tell you
Bb
Friends will help you get your troubles off your mind
C7
But lovers they bring all their troubles with them
F
And when they leave you they leave a lot of loneliness behind
F#
She wasn't strong, but life don't last forever
B
Still I thought we'd have at least a year or so
C#7
But then one day she packed it in and left me
F#
I guess the good Lord promised her a better place to go
F#
I told myself this really didn't happen
B
I tried to pray as I began to kneel
C#7
I looked down at the place where they had put her
F#
When I touched the dirt I knew that it was real
F#
Well tonight I'll find some all night bar that's open
B
I may run into someone there I know
C#7
Cause when you're down, you need someone to talk to
F#
And I know all the places where lonely people go.
