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

[Vers 2]
F# G#
Led by hearts & ears
C#/C
memory lagging behind
D#m
No shame being a fool
F#
I got many things on my mind
F# G#
Pick up the phone on first riing
C#/C
I never get out anymore..
D#m
There's nowhere to go, but back
F#
and there's quicksand outside my door
G#
So gently my eyelids close
[Omkvæd]
C# A
All alone (all alone)
B
at home I sit
C# A
ay-ay-ayyy (ay-ay-ayyy)
B F#
I'm very tired of it (all alone)
C# G#
Burn the midnight oil
B A#m
or pour it on my salad (ay-ay-ayyy)
C# D#m B
I lost the thread I thought I had
C# D#m C A#
I lost it... I lost it... yeah

C# G#
Is that a shadow - or a hole in the floor
A#m
And what's that noise outside my door
B
home alone
F#
on my own
[Omkvæd]

All alone (all alone)

at home I sit

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

Burn the midnight oil
