[Intro 1]
[E][A][E][A]
[E][A]

[Verse 1]
[E]She calls me up and says bab[A]y
it's a lonely ol' [E]night
I don't know I'm just [A]so scared
and lonely all [E]at the same time

[Pre-chorus 1]
[A]Nobody told us it was
[D]gonna work out this [A]way
No, no, [D]no, no, no
[E]I guess they knew we'd wor[A]k it out
in our own [E]way

[Chorus 1]
[D]It's a lonely ol' nig[A]ht
[D]Can I put my arm[A]s around you
[D]It's a lonely ol' nig[A]ht
[E]Custom made for two[A] lonely people
like [E]me and [A]you

[Verse 2]
[E]Radio playing sof[A]tly
some singer's [E]sad sad song
He's singing about standing
in the [A]shadows of love
I guess he [E]feels awfully alone

[Pre-chorus 2]
[A]She says I know exact[D]ly what he mea[A]ns
Yeah, yeah, [D]yeah, yeah, yeah
[E]And it's a sad, sad, sad[A], sad feeling
When you're living [E]on those in-betweens
But it's [A]okay

[Chorus 2]
[D]It's a lonely ol' nig[A]ht
[D]Can I put my arm[A]s around you
[D]It's a lonely ol' nig[A]ht
[E]Custom made for two[A] lonely people
like [E]me and you

[Bridge 1]
[E]She calls me Bab[A]y
She calls everybody [E]Ba [A]by
[E]It's a lonely ol' nig[A]ht
but ain't they [E]all[A]
[E][A][E][A]

[Chorus 3]
[D]It's a lonely ol' nig[A]ht
[D]Can I put my arm[A]s around you

[E]Custom made for two[A] lonely people
like [E]me and [A]you

[Chorus 4]
[D]It's a lonely ol' nig[A]ht
[D]Can I put my arm[A]s around you
[D]It's a lonely ol' nig[A]ht
[E]Custom made for two[A] lonely people
like [E]me and [A]you
Yeah, like [E]me and [A]you
Yeah, like [E]me and [A]you
