C G Gm C7
Stay away from lonely places
F
Just follow the crowd
F F# G
And stay around familiar faces
F C G
Play the music loud
C G Gm C7
Be seen at all the parties
F
And dress yourself with style
F F# G F C
And stay away from lonely places for a while
[Chorus]
F
Stay away from lonely places
C Bb A7
'Til you learn to live alone
D D7
And someone's outstretched arms are waiting
G G7
To stay with you at least 'til dawn
C G Gm C7
Remember that sorrow prospers
F
In a heart that never smiles
F F# G F C
So stay away from lonely places for a while
[Instrumental]

Stay away from lonely places

It takes time to learn to live alone

And someone's outstretched arms are waiting

To stay with you at least 'til dawn
C G Gm C7
And remember that sorrow prospers

In a heart that never smiles
F F# G F G C
So stay away from lonely places for a while
