[Intro]
D5

G  D5  A   D   G   D   A x2

[Verse]
G     D5  A              D      G       D          A       
I was 22, alone with nothing to do and I couldn’t sleep
G                D5         A                   D           G     
'Cause all those cold days returned with their old ways of causing
D        A 
New apathy

[Chorus]
G D5    A    D   G D    A  
I live alone,    I live alone

G D5    A    D   G D    A  x2

[Verse]
G       D5    A                D      G        D            A  
She was 21, wishing she lived by the sun, the sand and the sea
G     D5              A                 D          G 
So I suggested she’d move out fast and not be the last
   D            A 
To leave and be free

[Chorus]
G D5    A    D   G D    A  
I live alone,    I live alone
G D5    A    D   G D    A  
I live alone,    I live alone

[Bridge]
D5            A
Sweet summer day
G   D5  A
I’m so afraid
            D5
So take me away

[Verse]
G       D5   A           D      G     
We were 17, longing to live in between
    D              A 
The earth and the stars
G     D5             A                 D          G  
So I suggested we’d grow up fast and not be the last
    D              A
And look where we are
G       D5             A       D             G 
With no connection I saw your reflection at home
      D       A
In my bedroom mirror
G          D5                  A        D           G 
And I felt young again when I saw what we could’ve been
   D             A
In all of those years

[Chorus]
G D5    A    D   G D    A  
I live alone,    I live alone
G D5    A    D   G D    A      D
I live alone,    I live alone
