INTRO: G D A7 D CHORUS: D D D/F# D/A G You ought to be with me when I'm alone D A7 The only thing shakin' is me when she's gone D D D/F# D/A G I've been the one in the middle of lonely too long D A7 D You ought to be with me when I'm alone D D D/F# D/A G My friends say she's crazy and draggin' me down D A7 But they oughta see me when she ain't around D D D/F# D/A G I'm ringin' my hands by an un ringin' phone D A7 D And turnin' the light off while she's turnin' on CHORUS SOLO She won't come to my place, I must go to hers And be dazzled by diamonds and waved thru her furs She got two well bred dogs, but to me they're just curs But I'm right down there with 'em 'cause I'm one of hers CHORUS OUTRO: D D/F# D/A G D A7 D
