Capo on second fret 
 
G Em C D (2x) 
 
G                               Em 
When the world is ready to fall on your little shoulders 
C                                                                    G 
And when you're feeling lonely and small, you need somebody there to hold you 
Em                  C    D                G 
You can call out my name when you're only lonely 
Em                     C      D                G 
Now don't you ever be ashamed when you're only lonely 
 
When you need somebody around on the nights that try you 
I was there when you were a queen and I'll be the last one there beside you 
So you can call out my name when you're only lonely 
Now don't you ever be ashamed when you're only lonely 
 
Ooh, when the world is ready to fall on your little shoulders 
And when you're feeling lonely and small, you need somebody there to hold you 
So don't you ever be ashamed when you're only lonely 
You can call out my name when you're only lonely 
When you're only lonely when you're only lonely 
Oooh, its no crime, darling we got lots of time 
Whooah, whooah 
There's nothing wrong with you, darling I get lonely, too 
Only Lonely, only lonely 
So if you need me, all you have to do is call me 
 
 
--The second and third verses follow the same chrd progression as the 
first.  The ending choruses are G Em C D over and over.  If you listen to 
the song you can hear these piano rolls at the chord changes and you can 
imitate those a little with walkdowns (at the G to F# to Em , for example).
