1. Are you lonesome tonight, do you miss me tonight?

                   C            C7         F

    Are you sorry we drifted apart?

                        G                          G7

    Does your memory stray to a brighter sunny day,

                 G                      G7                       C    

    when I kissed you and called you sweetheart?

                   C7                                    F        

    Do the chairs in your parlor seem empty and bare?

                   D                                       G                G7

    Do you gaze at your doorstep and picture me there?

                  C                     Em             D          

    Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again?

                   F                  G7              C        - G7

    Tell me dear are you lonesome tonight.

 

(spoken : )

 

C           Em            Am

I wonder if you are lonesome tonight.

 

You know someone said that the world is a stage,

                        C        C7

and you must play a part.

                                        F

Fate had me playing in love with you as my sweetheart.

                                                    G

Act one was when I met you, I loved you at first glance.

         G7                                                      G

You read your line so cleverly and never missed a cue.

                    G7

Then came act 2, you seemed to change and you acted strange,

         C                             C7

and why I'll never know.

 

                                                           F

Honey, you lied when you said you loved me,

                                                        D

and I had no cause to doubt you.

 

 

 

                                                      G

But I'd rather go on hearing your lies,

                    G7                         C

than go on living without you.

                                                  Em

Now the stage is bare and I'm standing there

          D                                 F

with emptiness all around.

                                      G7

And if you won't come back to me,

                         C                                G7

then they can bring thecurtain down.

 

                    C                    Em              D          

     Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again?

                    F                  G7            C       

     Tell me dear are you lovesome tonight.
