G              Em             Bm  G
This is for all the lonely people
                  Em                 Bm  D  C
thinking that life has passed them by.
             D         G                  Em7    C
Don't give up until you drink from the silver cup
              D                 G  D  G
and ride that highway in the sky.

G              Em             Bm  G
This is for all the single people
                  Em                Bm  D  C
Thinking that love has left them dry.
             D         G                  Em7    C
Don't give up until you drink from the silver cup,
          D                 G
you never know until you try.

          C C/B Am7           C   C/B Am7
Well, I'm on my way, yes, I'm back to stay,
          C C/B Am7 D    G
well, I'm on my way back home.

"Hit it" (Instrumental using verse chords)

G              Em             Bm  G
This is for all the lonely people
                  Em                 Bm  D  C
thinking that life has passed them by.
             D         G                  Em7    C
Don't give up until you drink from the silver cup
              D           G          Em7    C
and never take you down or never give you up
              D             Em
You never know until you try.
