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

[Vers 2]
C D
Led by hearts & ears
G/F#
memory lagging behind
Am
No shame being a fool
C
I got many things on my mind
C D
Pick up the phone on first riing
G/F#
I never get out anymore..
Am
There's nowhere to go, but back
C
and there's quicksand outside my door
D
So gently my eyelids close
[Omkvæd]
G Eb
All alone (all alone)

at home I sit
