[Bm]
You can live your life in a crowded city.
You can walk along the crowded streets.
[F#m] But the city really ain't no bigger than
[E] [F#m] the friendly people, the friendly people [Bm] that you meet.
You might be a sweet young, a sweet young pretty pretty la la la la la.
At the dances [F#m] you [Bm] can keep your seat.
[F#m] But if dancing don't lead to romance and love, you might as well be born [E] [F#m] with [Bm] two left feet.
You might be a sweet tone, a high class talker.
You might be a stone, [A] a stone [Bm] expert at kissing.
But
[F#m] it don't do too much good to be talking.
[Bm]
And if you are shy and just not much of a talker, and you don't impress the people that
you meet, [F#m]
you might as well be a lonely [E] walker la la [F#m] la la la.
[E] [F#m] In a lonely town, [E] [Bm] on a lonely street.
You might as well be a lonely walker la la la la.
