[Verse 1]
E                        Esus4                       E
She calls me up and says "Baby, it's a lonely ol' night"
                       Esus4                      E
I don't know, I'm just so scared and lonely all at the same time
A                 Asus4                    A
Nobody told us it was gonna work out this way
   Asus4
No no no no no
E                      Esus4                  E    Esus4 E  Esus4 E
I guess they knew we'd work it out in our own way
 
[Chorus]
D                  A
It's a lonely ol' night
D                A
Can I put my arms around you?
D                  A
It's a lonely ol' night
E               Esus4                    E         Esus4
Custom made for two lonely people like me and you
 
[Verse 2]
E               Esus4                         E
Radio playing softly some singer's sad, sad song
                             Esus4
He's singin about stanin' in the shadows of love
                 E
I guess he feels awfully alone
A                 Asus4              A
She says "I know exactly what he means
     Asus4
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah"
E                    Esus4                               E
And it's a sad, sad, feelin' when you're livin' on those in betweens,
              Esus4 E  Esus4 E
But it's okay
 
[Chorus]
D                  A
It's a lonely ol' night
D                A
Can I put my arms around you?
D                  A
It's a lonely ol' night
E               Esus4                    E         Esus4
Custom made for two lonely people like me and you
 
[Bridge]
E              A/E
She calls me baby
                     E    A/E
She calls everybody baby
E                 A/E                    E
It's a lonely ol' night, but ain't they all?
 
[Chorus]
D                  A
It's a lonely ol' night
D                A
Can I put my arms around you?
D                  A
It's a lonely ol' night
E               Esus4                    E         Esus4
Custom made for two lonely people like me and you
            E        Esus4
Yeah like me and you
            E        Esus4   E
Yeah like me and you
