[Intro]
Give me a C chord

[Verse]
Are you lonesome tonight?
Do you miss me tonight?
Are you sorry we drifted apart?
Does your memory stray to a bright summer day
When I kissed you and called you sweetheart?

[Verse]
Do the chairs in your parlor seem empty and bare?
Do you gaze at your doorstep and picture me there?
Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again?
Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?

[Bridge]
(I'm goin' to talk to you a minute)

[Verse]
I wonder if you're lonesome tonight
You know someone said that the world's a stagе and each of us play a part
Fate had me playing in lovе with you as my sweetheart
Act one was where we met

[Verse]
I loved you at first glance
You read your lines so cleverly and never missed a cue
Then came act two, you seemed to change, you acted strange
And why I've never known
[Verse]
Honey, you lied when you said you loved me
And I had no cause to doubt you
But I'd rather go on hearing your lies
Than to go on living without you

[Verse]
Now the stage is bare and I'm standing there
With emptiness all around
And if you won't come back to me
Then they can bring the curtain down

[Verse]
Is your heart filled with pain
Shall I come back again?
Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?

[Outro]
Thank you, thank you for listening
"Please Release Me", baby
