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

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

I'm very tired of it (all alone)

Burn the midnight oil
C Bm
or pour it on my salad (ay-ay-ayyy)
D Em C
I lost the thread I thought I had

Is that a shadow - or a hole in the floor

And what's that noise outside my door

home alone

on my own
