Baby I'm lonesome I'm here I ain't going anywhere 
G            C    G    D 
Couldn't you show some 
G           C            D 
Some of the love that we shared 
          Am        D              G     
Like you did when I knew you still cared 
    Em                 Em/G 
You say there've  been others who 
C             G           D  D/C   D/B   D/A  
Made you feel better than me 
    Em         Em/G 
But I'd rather lose you

Baby I'm lonesome I'm here I ain't going anywhere

Like you did when I knew you still cared

Please don't be mad 
    C        G            D  D/C   D/B   D/A  
I'm tired oh sad I'm just blue 
          Em       Em/G 
Just when you turn away 
     C          G          D  D/C   D/B   D/A  
It's so hard to say I love you 
G        C    G  D    G            C         D 
Baby I'm lonesome I'm here I ain't going anywhere 
G            C    G    D 
Couldn't you show some 
G           C            D 
Some of the love that we shared

Like you did when I knew you still cared 
Em            Em/G 
You say for a while 
      C         G            D 
You'd rather be free than be mine 
    Em        Em/G 
But I turn to stone 
       C          
Like a mountain alone 
     G                         D   D/C   D/B   D/A          
If I just could get you off my mind 
G        C    G  D    G            C         D 
Baby I'm lonesome I'm here I ain't going anywhere 
G            C    G    D 
Couldn't you show some 
G           C            D 
Some of the love that we shared 
          Am        D              G    Am  D   G 
Like you did when I knew you still cared
