A B7 E A
Pillow you're catching my tears again,
B7 E A A7
Why can't these lonely nights come to an end
[Chorus 1]

I once loved someone, but now she is gone,
B7 E
Oh why must I cry on and on
[Verse 2]
A B7 E A
Pillow you're catching all of my blues,
B7 E A A7
I lay here crying every night through,
[Chorus 2]
D D#dim7 A F#7
She won't even write me, or call on the phone,
B7 E
Oh why must I cry on and on
[Instrumental Bridge]
B7 E A A7
[Chorus 3]
D D#dim7 A F#7
Darling, oh darling, wherever you are,

Come back, oh come back, don't wander too far.
[Verse 3]
A B7 E A
Pillow I guess we'll go through it tonight,
B7 E A A7
I can't help my feelings, I can't hold them back
[Chorus 4]
D D#dim7 A F#7
I know it's foolish, and I know she's gone,
B7 E A
Oh why must I cry on and on
