You're Only Lonely
From the same titled album
By John David Souther

Capo on 2cd fret

G Em C D (2x)

G                               Em
When the world is ready to fall on your little shoulders
C                                                                    G
And when you're feeling lonely and small, you need somebody there to hold you
Em                  C    D                G
You can call out my name when you're only lonely
Em                     C      D                G
Now don't you ever be ashamed when you're only lonely

When you need somebody around on the nights that try you
I was there when you were a queen and I'll be the last one there beside you
So you can call out my name when you're only lonely
Now don't you ever be ashamed when you're only lonely

Ooh, when the world is ready to fall on your little shoulders
And when you're feeling lonely and small, you need somebody there to hold you
So don't you ever be ashamed when you're only lonely
You can call out my name when you're only lonely
When you're only lonely when you're only lonely
Oooh, its no crime, darling we got lots of time
Whooah, whooah
There's nothing wrong with you, darling I get lonely, too
Only Lonely, only lonely
So if you need me, all you have to do is call me


--The second and third verses follow the same chrd progression as the
first.  The ending choruses are G Em C D over and over.  If you listen to
the song you can hear these piano rolls at the chord changes and you can
imitate those a little with walkdowns (at the G to F# to Em, for example).
