ARE YOU LONESOME TONIGHT

Elvis Presley

[C][Dm][G][C][G7]

Are you [C] lonesome tonight, do you miss me tonight?

Are you [A7] sorry we drifted apart?

Does your [G7] memory stray to a bright summer day

When I [C] kissed you and called you sweetheart?

Do the [C7] chairs in your parlour seem [F] empty and bare?

Do you [D7] gaze at your doorstep and [G7 picture [F#7] me [G7] there?

Is your [C] heart filled with [C7] pain, shall I [D7] come back again?

Tell me [G7] dear are you [C] lonesome [G7] tonight.

[C] I wonder if [Em] you're lonesome tonight

[Am] You know someone said the world's a stage

And [C] each must play a [C7] part.

[F] Fate had me playing in love, with you as my sweet heart.

Act one was when we met. I [G] loved you at first glance

You [G7] read your lines so cleverly and [G] never missed a cue

Then came Act [G7] Two.

You seemed to change and you acted strange

And [C] why I'll never [C7] know.

Honey, you lied when you said you [F] loved me

And I had no cause to doubt you.

[D] But I'd rather go on hearing your [G] lies

Than [G7] go on living [C] without you.

Now the stage is bare and I'm [Em] standing there

With [D] emptiness all around

And if you [G7] won't come back to me

Then they can [C] bring the curtain [G7] down.

Is your [C] heart filled with [Em] pain, shall I [D] come back again?

Tell me [F] dear are you [G7] lonesome to-[C]-night.
