Some people call me a teenage idol

The smile and say they envy me

I guess they got no way of knowing

How lonely it can be

 

C                                  E7

There's a place where lovers go

      F          G           C

To cry their troubles away

       F    Dm   C               Am

And we call it Lonesome Town

      F         G7                   C

Where the broken hearts stay

To last you all through the years

And the only price you pay

Is heart full of tears

We can learn to forget

We can love to forget
