A     E5  B              E      A       E          B        
I was 22, alone with nothing to do and I couldn’t sleep 
A                E5         B                   E           A      
'Cause all those cold days returned with their old ways of causing 
E        B  
New apathy 
 
A E5    B    E A E    B   
I live alone, I live alone 
 
A E5    B    E A E    B  x2 
 
A       E5    B                E      A        E            B   
She was 21, wishing she lived by the sun, the sand and the sea 
A     E5              B                 E          A  
So I suggested she’d move out fast and not be the last 
   E            B  
To leave and be free 
 
A E5    B    E A E    B   
I live alone, I live alone 
A E5    B    E A E    B   
I live alone, I live alone 
 
E5            B 
Sweet summer day 
A   E5  B 
I’m so afraid 
            E5 
So take me away 
 
A       E5   B           E      A      
We were 17, longing to live in between 
    E              B  
The earth and the stars 
A     E5             B                 E          A   
So I suggested we’d grow up fast and not be the last 
    E              B 
And look where we are 
A       E5             B       E             A  
With no connection I saw your reflection at home 
      E       B 
In my bedroom mirror 
A          E5                  B        E           A  
And I felt young again when I saw what we could’ve been 
   E             B 
In all of those years 
 
A E5    B    E A E    B   
I live alone, I live alone 
A E5    B    E A E    B   
I live alone, I live alone
