On a bright summer day when I kissed you and called you [C] sweetheart
Do the chairs in your parlor [F] seem empty and bare?
Do [D] you gaze at your doorstep [Dm] and picture [G] me there?
Is [C] your heart [Em] filled with pain?
Shall [D] I come back again?
[Dm] Tell me dear, are [G] you lonesome [C] tonight?
[G]
[C] Are you [Em] here [Am] lonesome tonight?
You know someone said it was a stage [C] and for it you must play a part
[F] Fearing I'd be playing in love with you as my [G] sweetheart
Act one is when we met, I loved you at first glance
You read your lines so cleverly and never missed a [C] cue
Then came act two, using the change you acted strange
I don't know what you're [F] thinking about, what you're thinking about
And why, I just don't know
[D] But I'd rather go on hearing your lies [Dm] than to go on living [G] without you
[C] Now the stage is bare [Em] and I'm standing there [D] with emptiness all around
And [Dm] if you won't come back to me, [G] I'll make you bring the curtain [C] down
[G]
[C] Is your heart [Em] filled with pain?
[D] Shall I come back [Am] again?
[Dm] Tell me dear, [G] are you lonesome too?
