C      F              C 
I'm so tired of being alone 
C              F                  C 
These penitent walls are all I've known 
G                Am         F  
Songbird calling across the water 
G                Am         F 
Inside my silent asylum 
 
 
C  Bb  F 
Ooooh... 
C        Bb             F 
Oh don't leave me on my own 
C  Bb  F 
Ooooh... 
C       Bb            F 
Left me standing all alone 
G                         F         Am 
Cut me down to size so I, I can fit inside 
G                                F    Am 
Lies that will divide us both in time

C       F               C 
See the turncoat on his knees 
C     F                C 
A vagabond that no one sees 
G                       Am   F      
When a moon is throwing shadows 
G                              Am        F 
You can't save the ones you've caught in battle 
 
 
C  Bb  F 
Ooooh... 
C        Bb             F 
Oh don't leave me on my own 
C  Bb  F 
Ooooh... 
C       Bb            F 
Left me standing all alone 
G                         F         Am 
Cut me down to size so I, I can fit inside 
G                                F    Am 
Lies you try to hide behind your eyes 
 
 
C                    F 
Don't leave me on my own 
C                    F 
Don't leave me on my own 
G                             F         Am 
She cut me down to size so I, I can fit inside 
G                                F    Am 
Lies that will divide us both in time
