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

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

ay-ay-ayyy (ay-ay-ayyy)

Burn the midnight oil

or pour it on my salad (ay-ay-ayyy)

And what's that noise outside my door

home alone
