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 
 
 
OUTRO: D D/F# D/A G  D  A7  D
