[Verse]
GJames Fdon't forget Cyourself Gwhen you're across the FwaterC  
Those Gsirens sing songs of love Fdo they know what Cyou're made of
cause it Gmight not be across the Fwater Cnow
AmBe sure to Cpack a good alarGm 
to pick you Amup in the morning to Cturn your head to Gthings that may go wrong and
though the Farms of a lover can Cbe so Gcomforting
We all Fneed Ca little Gwarning, sometimes. James
[Verse]
Now love GI have seen you wear Fpulled over your eyes
thorugh a Csmall tear GI have seen my best friend FcryinCg
Five Gthousand miles you wish to roam and Fthere you'll build a Cnew
home Gunder the hot sun but it is what your FburninCg for now
[Chorus]
AmNobody Cwants to live Galone,
We all Amknow it's better to Cshare than to Gown
And Fthough the arms of a lover can Cbe so Gcomforting,
we all Fneed Ca little Gwarning
[Chorus]
AmNobody Cwants to live Galone,
We all Amknow it's better to Cshare than to Gown
And Fthough the arms of a lover can Cbe so Gcomforting,
we all Fneed Ca little Gwarning
