If You Think You’re Lonely Now: Chords

LAb7+    SIb        SOLm7  DOm SIb LAb7+

SIb        SOLm7  DOm SIb LAb7+

Parlato:
I wanna dedicate this song to all the lovers tonight
And I expect that might be the whole world
Because everybody needs something or someone to love

                      SIb                SOLm7 
When it's cold outside who are you holding?

DOm SIb LAb7+    SIb    SOLm7  DOm SIb LAb7+

You know, if y'all don't mind 
I'd like to talk about this woman of mine
She's always complainin' 'bout me never bein' at home
But when I'm there I'm broke
FA9
 She's tellin' me about the things 

that her girlfriend's got
                       
What she ain't got and she wants me 
                              SIb13
to go out and get 'em for her

But girl, I can't be in two places at one time

       LAb7+               SIb   
If you think you're lonely now, huh
SOLm7  DOm SIb LAb7+
Wait until to--night, girl 
                            SIb
(If you think you're lonely now)
                   SOLm7  DOm SIb LAb7+
I'll be long gone (Wait until to--night, girl)

And you'll find another man that'll treat you right

When I ain't there to rub your back
                            SIb
(If you think you're lonely now)
 SOLm7  DOm SIb LAb7+ 
(Wait until to--night, girl)
                                    FA9
Just remember I made it a known fact

And the skeletons come out of the closet

And chase you all around your room
SIb13
 And the memories sail 'round like a ghost

And dance around to a sad slow tune

If you think you're lonely now 
 LAb7+                      SIb
(If you think you're lonely now)

Oh, wait until tonight, girl 
 SOLm7  DOm SIb LAb7+
(Wait until to--night, girl)
                                              SIb
I'll be long gone (If you think you're lonely now)
SOLm7                             DOm SIb LAb7+
 And you'll never find another man 

who can treat you like me
                 SIb     
You think you're lonely now
 SOLm7  DOm SIb LAb7+        FA9
(Wait until to--night, girl)

Wait, wait, wait until tonight, girl

Oh, ain't it funny how the tables turn
                                  SIb13
When things aren't goin' your way?

But when love walks out and the pain walks in

And settles for a stay, ooh
        LAb7+               SIb
(If you think you're lonely now)

Lord, help me, I feel like I wanna testify 
 SOLm7  DOm SIb LAb7+      
(Wait until to--night, girl)
                            SIb
(If you think you're lonely now)
                          SOLm7  DOm SIb LAb7+
Girl, wait until tonight (Wait until to--night girl)

If you think you're lonely, lonely, 
                                       SIb
lonely now (If you think you're lonely now)

Oh, you just wait until tonight, girl 
 SOLm7  DOm SIb LAb7+
(Wait until to--night, girl)
                            SIb
(If you think you're lonely now)
 SOLm7  DOm SIb LAb7+        FA9
(Wait until to--night, girl)

You see the night's the time when the needs come out
                                   SIb13
When your needs come out to breathe

And the jonesing starts 

and there ain't no way you can sleep, ooh

        LAb7+               SIb
(If you think you're lonely now)

If you're lonely now
 SOLm7  DOm SIb LAb7+        
(Wait until to--night, girl)
 
I feel like I wanna testify this evenin'
                            SIb
(If you think you're lonely now)

I'm lonely, 'cause I know I gotta leave you, oh, girl
                           SOLm7  DOm SIb LAb7+
I just can't take no more (Wait until to--night, girl)
                            SIb
(If you think you're lonely now)
     
If you think you got problems now, baby, you just wait
      SOLm7  DOm SIb LAb7+
Wait (Wait until to--night, girl)
                            SIb
(If you think you're lonely now)

Too far gone
                         SOLm7  DOm SIb LAb7+
Like you're runnin' out (Wait until to--night, girl)
                            SIb
(If you think you're lonely now)

Ooh, hoo, ooh, hoo, babe
 SOLm7  DOm SIb LAb7+
(Wait until to--night, girl)
                            SIb
(If you think you're lonely now)

You say you're a little lonely

But everybody needs somebody to love
 SOLm7  DOm SIb LAb7+
(Wait until to--night, girl)

It's good that you know that you got somebody 

that'll stand by your side 
                            SIb
(If you think you're lonely now)

That'll build you up when you're fallin' down 
 SOLm7  DOm SIb LAb7+
(Wait until to--night, girl)

And you had that someone, baby 
                            SIb
(If you think you're lonely now)

'Cause I've done my time
 SOLm7  DOm SIb LAb7+
(Wait until to--night, girl)

And it's your turn now

If you think you're lonely now 
                            SIb
(If you think you're lonely now)
                          SOLm7  DOm SIb LAb7+
Wait, wait until tonight (Wait until to--night, girl)
                            SIb
(If you think you're lonely now)

I'm tired, tired of this same old stuck in the hour
 SOLm7  DOm SIb LAb7+
(Wait until to--night, girl)

It's been too long
                            SIb
(If you think you're lonely now)

You think, you could start all over again, 

it's been too long
 SOLm7  DOm SIb LAb7+
(Wait until to--night, girl)

You think you could start it just one more time
                            SIb
(If you think you're lonely now)...
