^Dm7 Here you are all a^Glone in the city  Dm7 G Where's the love that you took to your side  Dm7 G Am arpeg Lonely faces will stare through your eyes in the night  Am arpeg And they'll say

Woman sweet woman, please come home with me You're shining and willing and free  Dm7 G But your love is a common occurrence  Dm7 G Not like love that I feel in my heart 

^Dm7 Still you know that ^Gmay be what I need
