[Intro]  G  A  G  A

        Bm   A
Here we are again
D   G                A
Two lovers lost in a maze
   D    G        A        F#m
So many roads we could go down
Bm      F#m     G        A
So many ways we could go wrong

          G         A
You think we should part
D           G            A
Both go our own separate ways
    D        G             A       F#m
Oh, girl why can't (oo) we work it out
Bm        F#m       G        A
Can't you hear what my heart says (ah)

[Chorus]
          D   G     A
    Don't let me be lonely
          Bm  A         G    F#m7  Bm7
    Don't let me be lonely tonight
                     F#m7
    That wouldn't be right
             G               A         D   G D
    Now that I (ah) need you more than ever
 
        G     A
Here we are tonight
D                G        A
Both starring in the same play
    D       G            A         F#m
But I'm the one (oo) who plays the fool
Bm        F#m G       A
I've only one line to say (ah)
 
    [Repeat Chorus except last line]
             G               A          G
    Now that I (ah) need you more than ever

[Bridge]
          A             G
    Girl, what will I be
                 A          F#m7
    If you walk away from me
              Bm7      A  B
    How can I make you stay (ah)

[Repeat Chorus except last line with Chords 2 Steps higher]
         A          B         A     E  F#m7  E  A   E  B7  E
Now that I need you more than ever
