[Verse]
G                         D
When you were lonely, you needed a man
G                        D
Someone to lean on, well I understand
C
It's only natural
    D7                    G   D
But why did it have to be me
[Verse]
G                      D
Nights can be empty, nights can be cold
G                       D
So you were looking for someone to hold
C
That's only natural
    D7                    G    G7
But why did it have to be me
[Chorus]
C
I was so lonesome, I was blue
G                                        D7
I couldn't help it, it had to be you and I
                                   G    G7
Always thought you knew the reason why
C
I only wanted a little love affair
A
Now I can see you are beginning to care
    G/B     C
But baby, believe me
     A7/C#  G/D  D
It's better to forget me  
[Instrumental]
  C        G      D7     G   D7

[Verse]
G                   D
Men are toys in the game that you play
G                       D
When you get tired, you throw them away
C
That's only natural
    D7                  G      A
                      |  | % |  | % |
But why did it have to be me
[Verse]
A                      E
Falling in love with a woman like you
A                           E
Happens so quickly, there's nothing to do
D
It's only natural
    E7                    A     A7
But why did it have to be me

I was so lonesome, I was blue
