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

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