INTRO: G  D  A7  D


CHORUS:
    D                   D    D/F# D/A-G
You ought to be with me when I'm  alone
               D                        A7
The only thing shakin' is me when she's gone
              D                    D D/F#  D/A G
I've been the one in the middle of lonely  too long
                D       A7       D
You ought to be with me when I'm alone

   D                           D   D/F# D/A G
My friends say she's crazy and draggin' me  down
                D                     A7
But they oughta see me when she ain't around
    D                      D  D/F#-D/A G
I'm ringin' my hands by an un-ringin'  phone
                D               A7            D
And turnin' the light off while she's turnin' on


CHORUS


SOLO


She won't come to my place, I must go to hers
And be dazzled by diamonds and waved thru her furs
She got two well-bred dogs, but to me they're just curs
But I'm right down there with 'em 'cause I'm one of hers


CHORUS
