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

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

All alone (all alone)
