[INTRO]

|E   |E  |E   |E   |

 

[VERSE 1]

           E

When your baby leaves you all alone

       A                     E

And nobody calls you on the phone

                    B7

Dontcha feel like crying?

                    E

Dontcha feel like crying? 

                    B7                       E

Well, here I am my honey, c'mon, you cry to me

 

[VERSE 2] 

                  E

When you're all alone in your lonely room

             A                               E

And there's nothing but the smell of her perfume

                    B7

Dontcha feel like crying?

                    E

Dontcha feel like crying? 

                     B7                              E  E7

Don't ya feel like crying, c'mon, c'mon, you cry to me

 

[BRIDGE]

          A                             E

Whoa oh, nothing can be sadder than a glass of wine alone

 B7                                     E   E7

Loneliness loneliness, such a waste of time

A                             E

You don't ever have to walk alone, you see

     B7                                         E

Come on take my hand, baby won't you walk with me? Whoa yea

 

[VERSE 3]

            E

When you're waiting for a voice to come

        A                E

In the night there is no one

                    B7

Dontcha feel like crying?

                    E

Dontcha feel like crying? 

                   B7             E

Dontcha feel like cry-cry-crying

                   B7            E

Dontcha feel like cry-cry-crying
