C C G7 C C

    C              G
I know why you're lonely
                        C
And I know why you're blue
        C           G
You're lonesome to see him
                         C
And you long to see her too
              C  
We're not in love with each other
          C7                  F
We're in love with our best friends
                     C    G C
So let's invite them over again

                G
We've talked it over and over
         C        F   C
And we know it's not right
            G
We should stay away forever
           C        F    C
But we're lonesome each night
         C               C
Yes we stay away for a while
               C7   F
But we know in the end
       F          C    G C
We'll invite them over again

Instrumental

We've talked it over and over
And we know it's not right
We should stay away forever
But we're lonesome each night
Yes we stay away for a while
But we know in the end
We'll invite them over again
Let's invite them over again
