A
When the world is ready to fall
F#m
On you're little shoulders
D
And when you're feeling lonely and small
                           A
You need somebody there to hold you
F#m                    D
So you can call out my name
E                A
When you're only lonely
F#m                   D
Now don't you ever be ashamed
E                 A      F#m  D   E
When you're only lonely
A
When you need somebody around
F#m
On the nights that try you remember
D
I was there when you were a queen
                                 A
And I'll be the last one there beside you
F#m                    D
So you can call out my name
E                 A
When you're only lonely
F#m                D
Now don't you be ashamed
E                A
When you're only lonely
A                    F#m
You're only lonely   you're only lonely
D                    E
You're only lonely   you're only lonely
A
When the world is ready to fall
F#m
On you're little shoulders
D
And when you're feeling lonely and small
                           A
You need somebody there to hold you
F#m                   D
So don't you ever be ashamed
E                A
When you're only lonely
F#m                      D
Doll you can call out my name
E                A       F#m
When you're only lonely
        D                             E
It's no crime  darling we got lots of time
             A                  F#m
You're only lonely  you're only lonely
                           D
There's nothing wrong with you
             E
I get lonely too
             A
You're only lonely  you're only lonely
F#m
You're only lonely
D                                      E
So if you need me  all you gotta do is call me
            A          F#m    D    E     A
You're only lonely
