Standard (EADGBE)

I hear the ticking of the clock, I'm lying here the room's pitch dark

I wonder where you are tonight, no answer on your telephone

 And the night goes by so very slow

 Oh I hope that it won't end so

 All alone

Till now, I always got by on my own

I never really cared until I met you

And now it chills me to the bone

  How do I get you alone

  How do I get you alone

You don't know how long I have wanted to touch your lips and hold

you tight

You don't know how long I have waited, and I was gonna tell you tonight

But the secret is still my own

And my love for you is still unknown

All alone

Till now, I always got by on my own
