    Put yourself in my place,       if only for a day,

          Dm                                   G               C     Bb   - G

see if you can stand the awful hurt I feel inside, oh.

C                           D             - E                    Am

    Put yourself in my place,        just a little while,

                          Dm                                G                 C               - E - A

live through the loneliness, the endless emptiness I go through.

1. And when you lose a little sleep at night,

       C                                D

    'cause you ain't been treated right,

       C                                              E    - A7

    then you know heartaches are sad.

     F                                      C           Am

    Sitting by the telephone, being left all alone,

Dm                                     C                  - Bb - G

    then you know why I'm feeling bad.

 

  C                          D              - E - Am

2. And when you're just about to go insane,

      C                       D

    'cause it hurts to love in vain,

C                                          E       - A

    ask a guy who's been in love.

     F                                     C                Am

    I believed your evil line, now I'm left alone and crying,

       Dm                        C                 - Bb - G

    alone to count the stars above.

 

C                           D             E            Am

    Put yourself in my place, oh, na na na na.

                       Dm                             G

Why don't you try it ? Come on and try it !

                        C                Bb     G

Come on and try it, baby, baby, try it !
