  He was a shy boy when he was at school
Bb
 It took him years to learn the golden rule
      Gm      Eb
(you lose)
Bb
 He gets so angry, you see it in his eyes
Bb
 He has no patience for people telling lies
    Gm        Eb               Bb
Who choose to wear the old disguise


[Verse 2]
Bb
  I want to live where there's room to breathe
Bb                                                  Gm    Eb   Bb
Take one step closer and I'll swear I'll leave alone
Bb
 Erase the past and never hesitate
Bb                                                    Gm
Don't leave the light on, don't stay up and wait alone
Eb          Bb
Alone, alone


[Chorus]
  Gm           Eb                Bb
Alone, alone, alone, alone, alone

Alone, alone, alone, alone, alone

[Verse 3]
Bb
 He was a quiet man who always knew his place
                                                    Gm     Eb
The morning train was a fate he had to face each day
Bb
 He'd get so lonely, now everybody's gone
Bb                                                         Gm    Eb
He watches from his window as the world moves on but he'll stay
                        Bb
'Cause it's better that way


[Verse 4]
Bb
He'll say "I want to live where there's room to breathe
Bb                                              Gm
Take one step closer and I'll swear I'll leave alone
 Eb    Bb
Alone, alone
Bb
Erase the past and never hesitate
Bb                                                Gm
Don't leave the light on, don't stay up and wait alone
 Eb      Bb
Alone, alone
Bb
We'll I've got the keys and I got the car
                                                Gm
Don't make me need you when I've come this far alone
 Eb     Bb
Alone, alone"


[Chorus]
  Gm           Eb             Bb
Alone, alone, alone, alone, alone

Alone, alone, alone, alone, alone
  Gm           Eb             Bb
Alone, alone, alone, alone, alone
Eb   Gm   Cm   Bb
