Are you sorry we drifted apart?

Do the chairs in your barroom seem empty and bare?
D D D G
Do you gaze at your doorstep and picture me there?
C Em D D
Is your heart full of pain, shall I come back again?
D G7 C G7
Tell me dear are you lonesome tonight.
I wonder if you are lonesome tonight
You know someone said the world's a stage
And you must play a part
Fate had me playing love twas my sweetheart
Act one was when I met you, I loved you at first glance
You read your line so cleaverly and never missed a cue
Then came act2, you semmed to change and acted strange
And why I'll never know
Honey, you lied when you said yu loved me
And I had no cause to doubt you
But I'd rather go on hearing your lies
Than to go on living without you
Now the stage is bare and I'm standing there
With emptiness all around
And if you won't come back to me
Then make them bring the curtain down.
C Em D D
Is you heart full of pain, shall I come back again?
D G7 C G7 G7 C
Tell me dear are you lonesome tonight.
This is another possible way to play it. During the spoken parts, the chords
can be softly strummed or played around with following the same progression as
the verse, it helps if you don't have those back-up singers hummin' and ooohing
and stuff like that and you want some accompaniment.
