VERSE 1:
A                          A
I was sitting by the phone
                    D   D
I was waiting all alone
                                          A        A | A
Baby by myself I sit and wait and wonder about you
A                            A
It's a dark and dreary night
                             D   D
Seems like nothing's going right
          D7                    D            A            A | A
Won't you tell me honey how can I go on here without you?

Won't you please understand the need in me
