Intro: A5 B5 F#5 E5 x2

Verse 1:  
A5                          F#5
I guess I took an awful lot for granted
E5                               A5 ? E5
I thought everyone was on the square
Ab5               C#5                      F#5
I thought if you give love      Then you get love in return
B5                              E5 - E5 - E5
After all, that seems only fair
         A5                          F#5
But you revolutionized my way of thinking and
E5                      A5 ? G5 - F#5
Now I have a whole new style
   B5            D5    A5                   F#5
I don't burn with desire        I don't go near the fire
  B5                E5                  A5
I think I'll just be lonely for a while

Verse 2:
I see the happy couple in the caf?
Doing like all happy couples do
I'd warn them if I could        But it would do no good
Their world is only big enough for two
So let the lovebirds have their sweet illusions
It's best if I just walk on by and smile
I hope their love is real       I miss the way they feel
But I think I'll just be lonely for a while

Bridge:
      B5                           F#5
And oh so much for love         I'm fine on my own
B5                     E5                     - F#5 - B5
How am I going to miss  Something I've never known?

Verse 3:
I know, I know you never should say never
Cause who knows what tomorrow holds in store
One day love may find out       Where you are hiding
But you can't find what you're not looking for
So may I have a table in the corner
Or anywhere, just nowhere near the aisle
And yes, it's just myself       No, there'll be no one else
I think I'll just be lonely for a while

Reprise: (same chords as last 2 lines of verse)
I hope their love is real       Gee I miss the way they feel
But I think I will just be lonely for a while
