[ Alone (Big Country) von Big Country ]


 

         Am      C       F       C
    The midday sky was grey and purple
        Am       C       F   C
    At least it wasn't blue
       Am        C     F      C
    I want the sky to be the way
      G        F
    I am and what I do


        Am       C       F        C
    For I have been a lost and lonely
      Am    C   F   C
    Sailor on your sea 
        Am       C       F      C
    Run aground by trusting signals
      G        F
    You were sending me.

         Am      C       F       C
    The streets are filled with empty faces
      Am   C   F     C
    Nothing here is new
         Am      C       F       C
    It's just the same in other places
      G        F
    I have journeyed to


         Am      C       F       C
    I was the first across the water
      Am   C     F   C
    Last upon the land
         Am      C       F     C
    I walked out of the silver mine
      G        F
    My pockets full of sand.


      Am    C    F     C
    Alone inside my head
      Am    C    F     C 
    Alone inside my room
      Am      C      F      C
    I feel alone inside my head 
      G        F
    Alone inside my tiny little world

         Am      C       F       C
    It's not my life in those old pictures
      Am   C   F     C
    Once you threw away 
         Am    C     F      C
    For I was always someone else
      G        F
    And always far away


      Am      C       F       C
    Walking in the darkest places
      Am   C     F     C
    Where the mission meets
      Am      C       F       C
    Waiting for the ground to open up
      G        F
    Beneath my feet.

      Am    C    F     C
    Alone inside my head
      Am    C    F     C
    Alone inside my room
      Am      C      F      C
    I feel alone inside my head 
      G        F
    Alone inside my tiny little world

**Instrumental:  G  F  Am  Am 


      Am             
    Alone, inside my head
      Am
    Alone inside my room
       Am
    I feel alone inside my head
      G              F 
    Alone inside my world.
      Am  
    I'm alone inside my head
      Am  
    Alone inside my room
      Am  
    I feel alone inside my head
      G              F
    Alone inside my tiny little world.
