Capo: 2 Fret
[Verse]
When you're Em7talkin to yourself
And nobody's Ahome
Em7You can fool yourself
You came in this world Aalone
(Alone)
[Chorus]
GSo nobody ever told you Ababy
How it was gonna Ebe
GSo what'll happen to you Ababy
Guess we'll have to wait and Esee
COne, Gtwo
[Verse]
EmOld at heart but I'm only D28
CAnd I'm much too young
To let love break my Eheart
EmYoung at heart but it's getting much too Dlate
CTo find ourselves so far Eapart
DI don't know how you're s'posed
To Efind me lately
DAn what more could you ask from Eme
DHow could you say that I never Eneeded you
CWhen you took everything
DSaid you took everything from Eme
EmYoung at heart an it gets so Dhard to wait
CWhen no one I know can seem to Ehelp me now
EmOld at heart but I musn't Dhesitate
CIf I'm to find my own way Eout
Still taEm7lkin' to myself and nobody's Ahome
(Alone)
[Chorus]
GSo nobody ever told us Ababy
How it was gonna Ebe
GSo what'll happen to us Ababy
Guess we'll have to wait and Esee
[Verse]
AWhen I find out all the Ereasons
Maybe I'll find anDother way
Find anAother dayE  
With all the changing Dseasons of my Alife
Maybe I'll get it Eright next DtimeA  
An now that you've been Ebroken down
Got your head out of Dthe clouds
You're back down Aon the ground
And you don't Etalk so loud
An you don't Dwalk so proud
Any mAore, and what fEorD  
AWell I jumped into the Eriver too many times
to Dmake it home
I'm out here Aon my own, an drifting Eall alone
If it doesn't Dshow give it Atime
To read between the ElinesD  A  
F#m'Cause I see the sEtorm getting cDloserE  
F#mAnd the wEaves they get so hDighE  
F#mSeems eEverything We've eDver known's hEere
F#mWhy must it dErift away and dDie
AI'll never find anyone to reEplace you
Guess I'll have Dto make it thru, this Atime
Oh this EtimeD  
Without Ayou
F#mI knew the sEtorm was getting cDloserE  
F#mAnd all my fEriends said I was hDighE  
F#mBut everythiEng we've ever kDnown's hEere
F#mI never wEanted it to dDie
