ALONE
by BLUES TRAVELLER
[Intro]
A  D
[Verse 1]
I said "I love Ayou,"
She began to Dcry.
She said she needed a Afriend,
I said "I'll Dtry."
Soon we'd say Anothing,
Somehow I never wondered Dwhy,
[Chorus]
You see, she Cleft me,
She Dleft me,
I'm Aalone.D  
[Verse 2]
I'd loved her aAlways,
She didn't Dknow.
I tried Apatience,
Let a friendship Dgrow.
I tried to Akeep her,
That's what made her Dgo.
[Chorus]
You see, she Cleft me,
She Dleft me,
I'm Aalone.D  
[Verse 3]
Beauty and the Abeast
Was how it seDemed to be.
A love like Ahers
Ain't meant for guDys like me.
Some call me Acrazy,
Some politely call me Dfree, but either way
[Chorus]
You see, she Cleft me,
She Dleft me,
I'm Aalone.D  
[Bridge]
AI'm trying to forget you but it just won't work,
I think I'm Dlosing my mind, I think I'm going berzerk,
I love you Awith a passion that you just don't know,
And I kinDda wish right now that I was telling you so,
I could rant, Aor rave, or play some little game,
But when I Dlook into your eyes, it all seems the same,
You weren't Ameant for me and that's a sad but true fact,
Now I don't Dcare how I look and don't care how I act,
You set me Afree; I'm a man among men,
But when I Dthink of what I missed it starts all again,
 A   D   A   D(x2)
[Verse 4]
Now alone Ain the darkness of each new day,
My heart is Don its own.
I wanna Arip it from my chest and throw it away,
DWatch this bassman take me home.
[Solo]
 A   D   A   D(x8) 
[Verse 5]
I guess some Aday,
Love will soon be Dhere,
And maybe Athen,
I'll see things more Dclear.
I guess I got Aexcited,
Cause it felt so Dnear, and
[Chorus]
You see, she Cleft me,
She Dleft me,
I'm Aalone.D  
[Verse 6]
But I know I'd give my Alife,
Just to hold her Dnow,
And who Aknows?
I might see her Daround.
Hopes can always go Aup.
Tears can only come Ddown.
[Chorus]
You see, she Cleft me,
She Dleft me,
I'm Aalone.D

ALONE

by BLUES TRAVELLER

[Intro]

A D

[Verse 1]

I said "I love you,"

She began to cry.

She said she needed a friend,

I said "I'll try."

Soon we'd say nothing,

Somehow I never wondered why,

[Chorus]

You see, she left me,

She left me,

A D

I'm alone.

[Verse 2]

I'd loved her always,

She didn't know.

I tried patience,

Let a friendship grow.

I tried to keep her,

That's what made her go.

[Chorus]

You see, she left me,

She left me,

A D

I'm alone.

[Verse 3]

Beauty and the beast

Was how it seemed to be.

A love like hers

Ain't meant for guys like me.

Some call me crazy,

Some politely call me free, but either way

[Chorus]

You see, she left me,

She left me,

A D

I'm alone.

[Bridge]

I'm trying to forget you but it just won't work,

I think I'm losing my mind, I think I'm going berzerk,

I love you with a passion that you just don't know,

And I kinda wish right now that I was telling you so,

I could rant, or rave, or play some little game,

But when I look into your eyes, it all seems the same,

You weren't meant for me and that's a sad but true fact,

Now I don't care how I look and don't care how I act,

You set me free; I'm a man among men,

But when I think of what I missed it starts all again,

A D A D

(x2)

[Verse 4]

Now alone in the darkness of each new day,

My heart is on its own.

I wanna rip it from my chest and throw it away,

Watch this bassman take me home.

[Solo]

A D A D

(x8)

[Verse 5]

I guess some day,

Love will soon be here,

And maybe then,

I'll see things more clear.

I guess I got excited,

Cause it felt so near, and

[Chorus]

You see, she left me,

She left me,

A D

I'm alone.

[Verse 6]

But I know I'd give my life,

Just to hold her now,

And who knows?

I might see her around.

Hopes can always go up.

Tears can only come down.

[Chorus]

You see, she left me,

She left me,

A D

I'm alone.
