[Intro]
| E     | E     | G#m7  | G#m7  Gm7| F#m7  | F#m7  | B7    | B7
 
[Verse 1]
             E
Well, it's a big big city and it's always the same
          G#m7
Can never be too pretty, tell me your name
   Gm7 F#m7                                          B7
Is it out of line if I was to be bold and say "Would you be mine"?
 
          E
Because I may be a beggar and you may be the queen
             G#m7
And though I may be on a downer I'm still ready to dream
       Gm7  F#m7                                              B7
Though it's 3 o'clock, the time is just the time it takes for you to talk
 
[Chorus]
             E                                G#m7
So if you're lonely, why'd you say you're not lonely
                Gm7 F#m7
Oh, you're a silly girl, I know I heard it so
     B7
It's just like you to come and go
  E                            G#m7
And know me, no you don't even know me
                Gm7 F#m7
You're so sweet to try, oh my, you caught my eye
  B7
A girl like you's just irresistible
 
[Instrumental]
| E     | E     | G#m7  | G#m7  Gm7| F#m7  | F#m7  | B7    | B7
 
[Verse 2]
             E
Well, it's a big big city and the lights are all out
            G#m7
But it's as much as I can do you know to figure you out
    Gm7 F#m7
And I must confess, my heart's all broken pieces
       B7
And my head's a mess
         E
And it's 4 in the morning, and I'm walking along
           G#m7
Beside the ghost of every drinker here who has ever done wrong
    Gm7  F#m7
And it's you, woo hoo
                                  B7
That's got me going crazy for the things you do
 
[Chorus]
             E                        G#m7
So if you're crazy I don't care, you amaze me
                Gm7 F#m7
But you're a stupid girl, oh me, oh my, you talk
  B7
I die, you smile, you laugh, I cry
E                                  G#m7
And only, a girl like you could be lonely
              Gm7 F#m7
And it's a crying shame, if you would think the same
  B7
A boy like me's just irresistible
 
[Whistle Solo]
| D     | D     | F#m7  | F#m7  Fm7| Em7   | Em7   | A     | B     |
| E     | E     | G#m7  | G#m7  Gm7| F#m7  | F#m7  | B  A  | G#m
 
[Chorus]
   F#m       E                                G#m7
So if you're lonely, why'd you say you're not lonely
                Gm7 F#m7
Oh, you're a silly girl, I know I heard it so
     B         A      G#m      F#m
It's just like you to come and go
 E                             G#m7
And know me, no you don't even know me
                Gm7 F#m7
You're so sweet to try, oh my, you caught my eye
  B7                   B7  B7   B7
A girl like you's just irresistible
