[Vers 1]
D E
Gently my eyelids close
A/G#
I'd rather be good than clever
Bm
I'd rather have all facts wrong?
D
than no reply whatever
D E
I learned before I could speak
A/G#
with those being patient eyes
Bm
When god created my kind
D
but he forgot to tell me why
E
so gently my eyelids close
[Omkvæd]
A F
All alone (all alone)
G
at home I sit
A F
ay-ay-ayyy (ay-ay-ayyy)
G D
I'm very tired of it (all alone)
A E
Burn the midnight oil
G F#m
or pour it on my salad (ay-ay-ayyy)
A Bm G
I lost the thread I thought I had

[Vers 2]
D E
Led by hearts & ears
A/G#
memory lagging behind
Bm
No shame being a fool
D
I got many things on my mind
D E
Pick up the phone on first riing
A/G#
I never get out anymore..
Bm
There's nowhere to go, but back
D
and there's quicksand outside my door
E
So gently my eyelids close
[Omkvæd]
A F
All alone (all alone)
G
at home I sit
A F
ay-ay-ayyy (ay-ay-ayyy)
G D
I'm very tired of it (all alone)
A E
Burn the midnight oil
G F#m
or pour it on my salad (ay-ay-ayyy)
A Bm G
I lost the thread I thought I had
A Bm G# F#

And what's that noise outside my door

home alone

on my own
