This is a complete chord transcription with a few extra playing notes.
This song is played without a capo. I use a very simple flatpicking pattern 
but it would sound just as good with fingerpicking. The chorus is strummed

Chords:
    EADGBE
C   x32010
C/B x20010
F   003211
G   320033
Am  x02210

             C  C/B Am       F        G     (Bass run to G#)
We may never meet     in the light of day
Am    G             F                G              C
If we passed on the street, would we look the other way?
                C C/B Am          F        G
So I search for you      where we can't be seen
Am    G          F           G                 C    F  C
And I know we'll meet on the page of this magazine

CHORUS:
F          G            C
Two lonely hearts in an ocean of loneliness
F          G           C
Two lonely hearts in a shipwreck of pain
   F            G           C
We call to each other as we drown in the city
    Am                C
Oh, why do we have to remain
    F                        G         C
The outcasts in love and the losers in gain?

It's a mean old town, can't show your heart
If you stand up and say what you mean, they tear you apart
And they call it love, sell it by the pound
But the lovers are gone, oh, they're living down underground

CHORUS

No one needs a friend, no one cares no more
They'll look hard at you, they won't take the chain off the door
Oh, they work and slave, keep their conscience clean
They come home at night and they talk to an empty screen

CHORUS

Two lonely hearts (Two lonely hearts)
Two lonely hearts (Two lonely hearts)
We call to each other as we drown in the city
Oh, why do we have to remain
The outcasts in love and the losers in gain?
The outcasts in love and the losers in gain?
