| Eb maj7 |  Bb maj 7 | Eb maj7 |  Bb maj 7 |

 

| Eb maj7 |  Eb maj7    |  Bb maj 7    | Bb maj7 |

Hello mind, something is wrong with me

| Eb maj7 |  Eb maj7 |  Bb maj 7 | Bb maj7 | 

I’m out of time, the tune will never be

| Eb maj7 | Eb maj7  |  Cm           |  F          |

I’m striking out a path that has no start or end

| Bb             | Gm        | Cm            | Bb            | F  | F |

just commentary from my friends, you’ll be fine in good time, they’re so kind

| Eb maj7 |  Eb maj7    |  Bb maj 7    | Bb maj7 |

What I want, what I will never be

| Eb maj7 |  Eb maj7    |  Bb maj 7    | Bb maj7 |

What I’ve got, what I could never see

| Eb maj7 | Eb maj7  |  Cm   |  F          |

The greatest gift, to love and be loved in return

| Bb            | Gm       | Cm           | Ab           | F  | F |

Don’t take for granted when you learn the words I mined from inside stuck in time

 

| Bb | Bb | Gm | Gm |

Where I go, I go alone

            | Eb          | Cm            | F | F |

So easy to leave the lesson you don’t want to learn

| Bb | Bb | Gm | Gm |

I go, I go alone

           | Eb          | Cm            | F | F |

A simple solution when you have no place to turn

 

| Eb maj7 |  Eb maj7    |  Bb maj 7    | Bb maj7 |

Let’s get serious, something I’ve always heard

| Eb maj7 |  Eb maj7    |  Bb maj 7    | Bb maj7 |

When I’m hearing this broken into words

| Eb maj7 | Eb maj7 | Cm    |  F          |

The easy day was saying yes and going through

|   Bb          | Gm                | Cm             | Ab           | F  | F |

but finding other ways to you, ‘cause from the heart to me was the hardest part

 

| Bb | Bb | Gm | Gm |

Why go, why go alone

            | Eb          | Cm            | F | F |

It's easy to flee into myself and always win

| Bb | Bb | Gm | Gm |

Why go, why go alone

           | Eb          | Cm            | F | F |

So simple to see right through the trap while walking in

| Gm  |  Gm           |   D7    |    D7 |

Selfish boy with my new velvet toy

|    Cm       |      F    |

Softer than a smile

| Gm  |  Gm           |   D7    |    D7 |

Naturally, if she’s in love with me

|    Eb       |      F    | F |

I’ll leave her in a while

 

| Eb maj7 |  Eb maj7    |  Bb maj 7    | Bb maj7 |

Goodbye love, hello reality

| Eb maj7 |  Eb maj7    |  Bb maj 7    | Bb maj7 |

Hereinabove, I’m below ability

| Eb maj7 | Eb maj7  | Cm    |  F          |

I’m casting off and floating slowly on the wave

|   Bb            | Gm         | Cm          | Ab          | F  | F |

and humbly thankful one forgave when I drift away you’ll have to say

 

| Bb | Bb | Gm | Gm |

Don’t go, Don’t go alone

            | Eb          | Cm            | F | F |

So easy to see a lonely life if no one cares

| Bb | Bb | Gm | Gm |

Don’t go, Don’t go alone

              | Eb           | Cm            | F | F |

A simple belief that we should live our lives in pairs
