Verse 1

there was a time i sat by myself

 alone like a tree thinking of the day

 and who it might be and where i might find you

 alone just like me

Chorus

 when i'm alone i think of you

 and where you might be alone just like me

4x

Verse 2

one day i smile the next day i'm sad

 thoughts come and go like a grain of sand

 i look to the sky and sometimes it rains

 thinking of you well it's not the same

Chorus

 when i'm alone i think of you

 and where you might be alone just like me

4x

Verse 3

now that you're here you're right by my side

 me and my tree we still find the time

 to walk through the clouds and look for the rain

 but in know i can't find them cause i'm not the same

Chorus

 when i'm alone i think of you

 and where you might be alone by a tree

Notes:

listen to the song for the struming pattern, or play it however you want.

on the chorus, they let that G ring out, then pick back up with the C (again, listen if you want)

on the third verse, they don't really play the chords, they either hit the guitar or use a drum.

that being said, if you do play the chords, where i've got the F* you could play an F or a G there

- F follows the pattern of the earlier verses, but i use the G because the melody steps down and

i think it sounds better. if you don't play the chords, make sure you come back in on the Am.

on the last C, they don't play this chord, but if they did it would be a C.

tried to find this for a while, finally found the song on itunes and typed it

out. email me with any questions.
