[Verse]
It was Elate at night as well as I remember
She was Asitting in an empty bus depot
B7No one had to tell me she was lonely
Cause EI know all the places where lonely people go
She Esmiled but then I knew that she'd been crying
I'm Asure she didn't mean for it to show
B7But I can tell when someone's heart is broken
Cause EI've known all the heartaches that lonely people know
I Esaid come live with me, she answered why not
And if it's Awrong, I said, we'll make it right
B7But right or wrong we belong together
Cause Elonely people need each other, especially at night
[Chorus]
FShe said to me don't promise me tomorrow
Just Bbgive as much today as you can spare
C7Cause if we start to look ahead tomorrow
We Fmay run out of time before we're there
FI've had lovers, I've had friends, and I can tell you
BbFriends will help you get your troubles off your mind
But C7lovers they bring all their troubles with them
And when they Fleave you they leave a lot of loneliness behind
[Verse]
F#She wasn't strong, but life don't last forever
BStill I thought we'd have at least a year or so
C#7But then one day she packed it in and left me
I F#guess the good Lord promised her a better place to go
I F#told myself this really didn't happen
I Btried to pray as I began to kneel
I C#7looked down at the place where they had put her
When F#I touched the dirt I knew that it was real
Well F#tonight I'll find some all night bar that's open
BI may run into someone there I know
C#7Cause when you're down, you need someone to talk to
And F#I know all the places where lonely people go.

[Verse]

It was late at night as well as I remember

She was sitting in an empty bus depot

No one had to tell me she was lonely

Cause I know all the places where lonely people go

She smiled but then I knew that she'd been crying

I'm sure she didn't mean for it to show

But I can tell when someone's heart is broken

Cause I've known all the heartaches that lonely people know

I said come live with me, she answered why not

And if it's wrong, I said, we'll make it right

But right or wrong we belong together

Cause lonely people need each other, especially at night

[Chorus]

She said to me don't promise me tomorrow

Just give as much today as you can spare

Cause if we start to look ahead tomorrow

We may run out of time before we're there

I've had lovers, I've had friends, and I can tell you

Friends will help you get your troubles off your mind

But lovers they bring all their troubles with them

And when they leave you they leave a lot of loneliness behind

[Verse]

She wasn't strong, but life don't last forever

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

I guess the good Lord promised her a better place to go

I told myself this really didn't happen

I tried to pray as I began to kneel

C#7

I looked down at the place where they had put her

When I touched the dirt I knew that it was real

Well tonight I'll find some all night bar that's open

I may run into someone there I know

C#7

Cause when you're down, you need someone to talk to

And I know all the places where lonely people go.
