Verse 1:

D      A+      D7
All theold gangI once knew
G                Gm6
Now have left me two by two
    D                  F#m7-5 B7
The  old neighbourhood  don't  look so good
E7      E13    A9         A+
 I'm so lonely by my only

D         A+     D7
 Each and  every  one it seems
G                Gm6
 Meets the ideal  of their dreams,
     D                    F#m7-5B7
I've  searched everywhere for  my ideal
E7                    A7     D#dimA7
 Now I'm beginning to  feel
 
Chorus:

D       B7      E7      A7
 Nobody  knows,  nobody  cares
       D          F#dimEm7A7A+
If I'm  lonesome
D       B7      E7      A7
 Nobody  sighs,  nobody  cries
       D
If I'm  blue

   D7          G
It  seems that  night after night
Gm               D           F#m
 I sit alone and  twiddle my  thumbs
Bm   F#7    Bm E7
 But  still  I  keep right on hoping,
E7                      A7            A+
 Keep the door open but  nobody comes

D           B7      E7         A7
 Ain't it a  crime,  kisses of  mine
         D        F#dimEm7A7A+
Are just  wasted
D7
 Since I'm a tot,
                    D+  G
I'm singin' what'll  I   do,  (boo-hoo)

B+      G                 A#7
 Like a  plaything on the shelf,
D      A+     D        Fdim
 Guess  I'll   have to be by myself
       D       B7      E7     A7
'Cause  nobody  knows,  nobody cares
       D      F#dimE7A7A+
If I'm  blue

Verse 2:

D          A+    D7
 Life must  be a  lot of fun
G                     Gm6
 When two hearts beat  just as one.
         D            F#m7-5B7
There's  never a care when  there's a pair
E7       E13      A9             A+
 Of eyes for you, that adore you

D       A+      D7
 I keep  trying  constantly
G                Gm6
 To meet someone  meant for me, but
D             F#m7-5B7
 try as I may it's  strange to say
E7                 A7   F#dimA7
 Nobody happens my  way
