Intro: D Bm G A
verse 1:
D Bm
Dear miss lonely hearts, I had to write this letter, to tell you how I came to meet her
G A
She was sweet but I dated her sister, that's how I made my mistake and I can't forget her
D Bm
I felt depressed till a friend of mine suggested that I write to this address
G A
So unless you can find a cure for my loneliness it will persist, it will persist
D Bm
Lonely boy looking for another lonely girl to love one another
G A
Lonely hearts turn to each other, lonely souls, lonely souls
verse 2:
D Bm
Dear lonely boy I doubt if my reply will bring much joy, it seems from your letter
G A
that you lied, or strongly implied, that you were satisfied to take her sister by your side
D Bm
I became distressed at your total lack of tactfulness
G A
So at best all I can suggest is that you resist and you put an end to such thoughts of silliness
D Bm
Lonely boy looking for another lonely girl to love one another
G A
Lonely hearts turn to each other, poor lonely soul

verse 3:
D Bm
Dear miss lonely hearts I've got problems, you're the only one I know that can solve them
G A
I love a girl but I'm dating her sister and if I persist in my pursuit I will kiss her
D Bm
Dear lonely girl I doubt if this reply will bring much joy
G A
But you must not trust this boy, you must not lust this boy, resist and do not kiss this boy
D Bm
Lonely boy looking for another lonely girl to love one another
G A
Lonely hearts turn to each other, lonely souls, I'm a lonely soul
