Are You Lonesome Tonight

Dm  G7  C   G7


[Verse 1]

         C        Em            Am         Am
Are you lonesome tonight, do you miss me tonight?
         C        C7          F  F
Are you sorry we drifted apart?
           G      G            G7            G7
Does your memory stray to a brighter summer day
         G7             G7            C     C
When I kissed you and called you sweetheart?
        C7              C7          F         F
Do the chairs in your parlor seem empty and bare?
       D            D            Dm           G
Do you gaze at your doorstep and picture me there?
        C                 Em           D           D
Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again?
        Dm            G7        C    G7
Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight.


[Verse 2]

(Talking verses, play the same chords)

C        Em            Am
I wonder if   you are lonesome tonight
          Am                              C
You know someone said that the world's a stage

And we each must play a part.
C7         F                                  F
Fate had me playing "in love" with you as my sweetheart.
                         G
Act one was where we met, I loved you at first glance
              G7                                   G7
You read your line so cleverly and never missed a cue
                  G7             G7                     C
Then came act two, you seemed to change, you acted strange

And why, I've never known.
C7            C7                            F
   Honey, you lied when you said you loved me
          F
And I had no cause to doubt you.
D7
   But I'd rather go on hearing your lies
Dm                   G
Than to go on living without you.
C               Em                      D
Now the stage is bare and I'm standing there
D                           Dm
With emptiness all around
                      G7
And if you won't come back to me
C                                    G7
Then they can bring the curtain down.

         (sing again)
        C                 Em            D          D
Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again?
        Dm           G7                C
Tell me dear are you lonesome tonight.
