[Verse 1]

C#m7                              G#7
What_ will you do__ when you get lonely__?
C#m7          C*      D       E     E7
With no_one_ waiting by your side__
F#m          B              E                  A
You've been running_   and hiding much too long__,
F#m            B                 E           A  (hold)
You know it's just your foolish pride__,    Lay___la_

Dm       Bb          C                   Dm
                I'm_ beg_ging_ dar_lin'_ please__, Lay__la
Dm       Bb          C                   Dm
                     Dar_lin'_ won't you ease_ my_ wor_ried_ mind__
Dm   Bb   C    A    C


[Verse 2]

C#m7                       G#7
Tried_ to give_ you_ consola_tion,
C#m7          C*          D        E     E7
Your__ old_ man__ won't let_ you down__
F#m       B         E                  A
Like_ a_ fool__, I fell_ in love with you__,
F#m                B                    E            A  (hold)
You_ turned_ the_ whole_ world_ upside down__       Lay___la

Dm   Bb   C    A   C


[Verse 3]

C#m7                               G#7
Let's make the best_ of the sit_u_a_tion__
C#m7      C        D     E     E7
Before I fin'lly_ go_ insane__
F#m             B              E             A
Please_ don't_ say__    we'll never_ find a way__
F#m           B               E            A  (hold)
And tell_ me all my loves in vain__       Lay___la
