Bm
When you meet a special person
        A
And it feels good passing time
Em7
You tell yourself it's casual
     Gmaj7                      A6
But they have something else in mind

You try to make some reason
A voice calls out from across the room
But she runs away without an answer
She runs away too soon

Chorus:
Bm           A6               Em9  D A
Somewhere tonight, someone's crying
Bm           A6               Em9  D A
Somewhere tonight, someone's crying
Bm           A6               Em9  D A
Somewhere tonight, someone's crying
Bm           A6               Em9  D A
Somewhere tonight, someone's crying

We all belong to someone
But sometimes they're so far away
You write down words in letters
Not quite sure what they say

And you know that she needs you
And you miss her in your heart
But a certain feeling lingers
That keeps us miles apart
