Capo 8
[Intro]
 Am  F*  C  G*
[Verse 1]
                    Am7  F*    C  
Is it the withering of tired leaves
G*                           Am7  F*                C  G*
All so neatly woven around that laurel wreath?
                    Am7  F*   C  
Or the collapsing of a history
   G*                                      Am7  F*            C  G*
Of victories getting lapped now by all my towering defeats?
              Am7  F*       C  
To be a champion in your eyes
G*                              Am7  F*             C  G*
Someone that you might be proud to stand beside
                        Am7  F*           C  
But I bribed the judge and poisoned the field
G*                                 Am7  F*       C  
Medals and trophies are only all that I could steal
[Pre-Chorus]
        G*              F*                       C  
But you found me in the morning, December in my eyes
        G*                        Em*         F*
Falling apart, bloodshot, outside Craigmaddie Hospital
           F*             G*
As you fly by on the 93, what are the odds?
        Em*     F*
I don't know, impossible
F*                           G*                         Em*
Got your call, I needed it more than I could let on to you
                  F*
I could let on to anyone
                     F*                   G*
Could hear it in the corners of all of my words
                   Em*              C  
In the silence you heard all that's unspoken
[Chorus]
                    C  F*     C  G*
You don't have to be lonely alone
           Em*             Am7  
I could be there in a heartbeat
F*     C  G*
Lonely alone
                    C  F*     C  G*
You don't have to be lonely alone
           Em*             Am7  
I could be there in a heartbeat
F*     C  G*
Lonely alone
[Verse 2]
                     Am7  F*     C  
As all my statues start crumbling
G*                                   Am7  F*        C  G*
I don't really know what it is that I'm offering
                  Am7  F*       C  
All I've got here is raining leaves
G*                               Am7  F*     C  
All once so neatly woven round that laurel wreath
[Pre-Chorus]
        G*              F*                       C  
But you found me in the morning, December in my eyes
        G*                        Em*         F*
Falling apart, bloodshot, outside Craigmaddie Hospital
           F*            G*
As you fly by on the 93, what are the odds?
        Em*        F*
I don't know, impossible
F*                         G*                          Em*
Got your call, I needed it more than I could let on to you
                  F*
I could let on to anyone
                     F*                   G*
Could hear it in the corners of all of my words
                   Em*                C  
In the silence you heard all that's unspoken
[Chorus]
                    C  F*     C  G*
You don't have to be lonely alone
           Em*             Am7  
I could be there in a heartbeat
F*     C  G*
Lonely alone
                    C  F*     C  G*
You don't have to be lonely alone
           Em*             Am7  
I could be there in a heartbeat
F*     C  G*    G*      F*
Lonely alone, lonely alone
[Interlude]
F* G* Em* F* G* Em*
[Chorus]
                    C  F*     C  G*
You don't have to be lonely alone

You don't have to be lonely alone
           Em*             Am7  
I could be there in a heartbeat
F*     C  G*     G*       C  
Lonely alone, lonely alone
