D                     Bm        

It's so lonely sitting all alone

D                       Bm      

Weekends weren't made to stay at home

D                   Bm          

Wish I had a girl to call my own

F#m G       D                   

I       I am lonely


D-Bm-D-Bm

D                   Bm

Getting tired of the radio

D                    Bm 

I can't watch another TV show

D                 Bm

How I wish I had a place to go

F#m G       D

I       I am lonely


D-Bm


Bm   F#m

Everywhere I look

G               D

Kids are having fun

    G                 D     
            
But I might as well go read a book

        E           A

I'm the only lonely one

D                      Bm            
   
Lord above oh won't you hear my plea

D                      Bm       

Won't you help me in my misery

D                     Bm        

Send a girl to love me faithfully

     F#m G            D

Then I        won't be lonely

I        won't be lonely
