Where Lonely People Go

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.
