[Vers 1]
E F#
Gently my eyelids close
B/A#
I'd rather be good than clever

I'd rather have all facts wrong?
E
than no reply whatever

I learned before I could speak

with those being patient eyes

When god created my kind

but he forgot to tell me why
F#
so gently my eyelids close
[Omkvæd]

All alone (all alone)
A
at home I sit
B G
ay-ay-ayyy (ay-ay-ayyy)
A E
I'm very tired of it (all alone)

Burn the midnight oil
A G#m
or pour it on my salad (ay-ay-ayyy)
B C#m A
I lost the thread I thought I had

Led by hearts & ears
B/A#
memory lagging behind

No shame being a fool

I got many things on my mind

Pick up the phone on first riing

I never get out anymore..

There's nowhere to go, but back

and there's quicksand outside my door

So gently my eyelids close
