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

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

Is that a shadow - or a hole in the floor

And what's that noise outside my door
F#
home alone

on my own

All alone (all alone)
