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

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

All alone (all alone)

at home I sit
