CAPO 1 
INTRO: C5  G5 F5 G5 C5 
VERSE 1: 
C5                   G5 
How can you ask me,"how've I been"  
F5                                 G5 
I think you should know well, the shape that I'm in  
C5                            G5 
You say that you wondered if I was o.k.  
     F5             G5             C5  
Well that's a damn fool thing to say  
 
VERSE 2: 
C5                   G5     
The water is risin' the water is wide  
F5                               G5  
And your always standin' on the other side  
C5                           G5 
And then comes the moment I wake before dawn  
     F5        G5        C5 
With hours to lie here alone  
 

        G5                          F5 
And you seem so surprised that I'm feelin' this way  
G5           F5      G5   
How am I so lonely today  
   C5                     G5 
If you ever loved me the way I loved you  
F5            G5      C5   
You would be lonely too   
 
BREAK: 
C5  G5  F5 G5 C5 
VERSE 3: 
   C5                    G5               
So here's to the lovers for old times sake  
    F5                            G5      
Who don't hold each other to the promise they break  
    C5                            G5   
And smile through the window and wave on the street  
       F5              G5             C5  
'Cause that's all you want now from me  
 
CHORUS 2: 
G5                         F5 
Should I say something to put you at ease  
   G5        F5              G5            
Or should I get down on my knees  
   C5                     G5 
If you ever loved me the way I loved you  
F5            G5      C5   
You would be lonely too  
   C5                     G5 
If you ever loved me the way I loved you  
F5            G5      C5   
You would be lonely too
