      C                 G           D
Mary cries out: For the love of God
         C6                G           D
As she's walking out of the laundromat
         Am                  G              Dm
Down the street and it's the short way home
         F                  G
Feeling special cause she's so alone
       Bb     F
But we know                  
                          G     D   D7
(The world's full of lonely people)
       Bb     F
And it shows 
                        G      D
(The world's full of lonely people)
               C6                       G      D
She shrugs her coat off and unlocks the door
          C6                       G      D
Eats her dinner on the kitchen floor
         C6                     G      D
Writes a poem and turns the radio on
         C6             G
Every singer sings the same old song
       Bb     F
And it goes
                       G      D      C6
(The world's full of lonely people)
        Bb     F
And it shows            G      Dm
(The world's full of lonely people)
                Dm
But when we she wanted me to go
         A             C6      Bb
She just had to let it show
    Am       A          Dm
To bring me down if she wanted me to leave
          A7            C6     Bb    Am
She just wore it on her sleeve
         A           D  F6    G    D F G D F6 G D F/C G
But at least, I was aroun.....d
                Dm
But when we she wanted me to go
         A7             C6  Bb

     Am     A            Dm
To bring me down if she wanted me to leave
         A7             C6     Bb    Am
She just wore it on her sleeve
   A            Dm    Dm7
At least, I was around
                            G      D
Mary Ellen makes the moment count
          C6                 G           D
As she's looking through old photographs
         F6                  G           D
Pictures taken from an early age
       F6                    G           D
Faces look back at her from the page
         Bb
And they say
  F                  G           D
(The world's full of lonely people)
     Dm7   Bb
It's ok

         A             C6   Bb
She just had to let it show

To bring me down if she wanted me to leave
         A7             C6       Bb  Am
She just wore it on her sleeve
        A     A7     Dm     A
But at least, I was around
