VERSE 1
           D
Well, good morning
        Bm                   Em    G   A
Tell me how'd you sleep last night
             D
You're still smiling
      Bm                     Em   G  A
So we must've done something right
           F#m
Don't feel guilty
D                     G        E
Because you turned to me last night


CHORUS (see guitar 1 TAB below)
D  Bm                  Em
We ain't done nothin' wrong
       A                    D
We've just been lonely too long
        Bm                Em
No, we ain't done nothin' wrong
       A                   D    A
We've just been lonely too long


VERSE 2 (see guitar 2 TAB below)
          D
It's only natural
            Bm                   Em  (riff 1) G A
When you've been too long in the dark
            D
To look for comfort
       Bm                   Em  (riff 2) G A
And to warm yourself by the fire
            F#m  (riff 3)
We're just afraid
     D                G    (riff 4)  E
That we might get our fingers burned


CHORUS 2
D      Bm                 Em
But we ain't done nothin' wrong
       A                   D
We've just been lonely too long
       Bm                 Em
No, we ain't done nothin' wrong
       A                   D   (riff 5) D7
We've just been lonely too long


BRIDGE
G                    Em                    C      D
Nothing's wrong that can't be cured with a new love
G               Em                    C               A
All you need is someone like me to be sure of, to be your love


SOLO (see TAB below)
|D |Bm |Em |G A |D |Bm |C |A |


VERSE 3
        D
I'll be waiting
         Bm                 Em   G  A
Standing right outside your heart
            D
And I'll be watching
        Bm                  Em    G  A
For the slightest sign of a spark
            F#m
And I'll be here
   D                  G          E
If you should want to turn to me


CHORUS 3
D         Bm                 Em
'Cause we ain't done nothin' wrong
      A                    D
We've just been lonely too long
       Bm                 Em
No, we ain't done nothin' wrong
      A                    D
We've just been lonely too long
    Bm                 Em
We ain't done nothin' wrong
    A                   D   Bm Em
We both been lonely too long
     A                   D   Bm   Em
Oh, just been lonely too long
A                    D
Both been lonely too long
