I've Been Alone Too Long(Chords)

	        Intro: C F G C  
                       
                     F         G    
Funny how you can go on livin'  
                    F        C  
And lose the simple knack of givin'  
    F           D                 G   
It slips away before ya know it's gone  
    C                    F                G  
You build up walls and before you know it  
                          F       C  
Someone moves you and you want to show it  
        F                  D              G  
But she just can't, find a way of lettin' on  
           F                       C  
I've been alone too long, baby now don't you see  
           F             G  
I've been alone too long     
                  C  
That's all that's wrong with me  
          F                  C  
I want to build you a dream, paint you a sunrise  
E                     Am  
Write you a beautiful song  
      G                                   C  
But I don't know how, I've been alone too long  

Instrumental  

F G C F G C  

                  F               G  
Funny how you can cut off feelin'  
                       F          C   
And tell yourself your wounds are healing  
      F                 D               G       
When all you've done is turn the pain inside  
    C                     F              G        
And when your sure no one can get to you  
                      F          C  
Someone smiles and it goes right through you  
    F                   D                    G  
And wakes up, somethin' that you thought had died  
           F                       C  
I've been alone too long, baby now don't you see  
           F             G  
I've been alone too long     
                  C  
That's all that's wrong with me  
          F                  C  
I want to build you a dream, paint you a sunrise  
E                     Am  
Write you a beautiful song  
      G                                   C  
But I don't know how, I've been alone too long  

Instrumental  

F C F C G  

                    C    F G                     C    F G  
I've been alone too long,    I've been alone too long   
                    C    F G                     C    F G  
I've been alone too long,    I've been alone too long   
                    C    F G                     C    F G C  
I've been alone too long,    I've been alone too long...
