F/G F 

verse 1 
F/G   F 
If I have to be alone 
F/G            F 
Then I should make my mind serene 
F/G               F 
After all you're born alone, you die alone 
                         F/G               F 
You might as well spend every moment in between alone 

F/G       F 
But if I have to be alone 
F/G          F 
Then it will be on my own terms 
F/G           F 
I can never talk about it, ever show it 
                 F/G                        F 
Even though the world is watching while I squirm alone 


Pre-Chorus 1 
                   A                        G

                       B5 
Then they all go make love 
               G        A 
While you go insane. insane! 
              B5   B5/G 
It drives you mad! mad!

verse 2 F And if nobody understands F/G F That special creature that is me F/G F And if they fail to see the me I see F/G F Then no one else knows truly what it means to be alone Pre-Chorus 2 A G Maybe once a lifetime you lose your will B5 Then you can let down your guard G A But they cower in fear. in fear B5 B5/G It makes you ill! Ill!
B5 A G G/F# Em A My heart, my burning heart G And if no one will quench the flame G/A G I'm not obliged to do the same G/A G/F And then they'll have to share the blame F/G F Because I have to be alone F/G F Because I have to be alone F/G F But I don't want to be alone
