      G           D              C
        I came into this lovely city
      G               D           C
        About three weeks ago today
                        G                D               C
        And I've been trying to find someone that I can talk to
      G             D             C
        A friendly face to turn my way

      G                 D               C
        I walk these streets in silent sorrow
      G            D              C
        I walk my feet into the ground
                   G               D                C
        And all I see are cloudy, cold, suspicious faces
      G             D                C
        I swear to God He brings me down

                  G              D
        Is there no one with a smile for me
         C                             G D C
        No one with the hallo in their eyes 
                  G               D
        Is there no one who will love me
             C                                G D C
        And help me thru the dark and lonely night

      G                 D                 C
        The park's so green and full of flowers
      G              D           C
        and lovers lying on the lawn
                  G          D                 C
        I wish I had a lady here that I could laugh with 
                       G                 D         C
        Sweet Jesus Christ, it hurts me so to be alone

                  G              D
        Is there no one with a smile for me
         C                             G D C
        No one with the hallo in their eyes 
                  G               D
        Is there no one who will love me
             C                                G D C
        And help me thru the cold and lonely night

                 G     D         C
        Singing la la la la la la
                 G     D         C
        Singing la la la la la la

      G               D                 C
        This life is hard and full of trouble
              G               D                C
        It's painful just to live from day to day
                       G           D                C
        But if you're weary and afraid don't turn away now
                    G             D                 C
        There's no reason why we have to feel this way

                  G                D
        Is there no one who will smile for me
         C                             G D C
        No one with the hallo in their eyes 
                  G               D
        Is there no one who will love me
             C                                G D C
        And help me thru the cold and lonely night

                 G     D         C
        Singing la la la la la la
                 G     D         C
        Singing la la la la la la

                                G      D   C
        I just need someone to talk to
                         G    D    C
        It hurts to be alone
                                G        D   C
        I just need someone to laugh with
                         G    D    C
        It hurts to be alone
                                G      D   C
        I just want someone to love me
                           G      D   C
        I need someone to talk to
                             G    D    C
        And it hurts to be alone

                 G     D         C
        Singing la la la la la la
                 G     D         C
        Singing la la la la la la
                 G     D         C
        Singing la la la la la la
                 G     D         C
        Singing la la la la la la
