Are you lonesome tonight, do you miss me tonight?
[C] [C7] [F] [F]
Are you sorry we drifted apart?
[G] [G] [G7] [G7]
Does your memory stray to a brighter summer day
[G7] [G7] [C] [C]
When I kissed you and called you sweetheart?

Do the chairs in your parlor seem empty and bare?

[Verse 2] (Talking verses)
[C] [Em] [Am]
I wonder if you are lonesome tonight
[Am] [C]
You know someone said that the world's a stage
And each must play a part.
[C7] [F] [F]
Fate had me playing "in love" with you as my sweetheart.
[G]
Act one was where we met, I loved you at first glance.
[G7] [G7]
You read your line so cleverly and never missed a cue.
[G7] [G7] [C]
Then came act two, you seemed to change, you acted strange
And why, I've never known.
[C7] [C7] [F]
Honey, you lied when you said you loved me
[F]
And I had no cause to doubt you.
[D7]
But I'd rather go on hearing your lies
[Dm] [G]
Than to go on living without you.
[C] [Em] [D]
Now the stage is bare and I'm standing there
[D] [Dm]
With emptiness all around.
[G7]
And if you won't come back to me
[C] [G7]
Then they can bring the curtain down.
(sing again)
[C] [Em] [D] [D]
Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again?
[Dm] [G7] [C]
Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight.
