Verse 
C 
You were alone 
                                 F 
I saw you from that second story window 
           G 
No sign of Jerome 
                                           C 
He burned your would'ves right down to the cinders 
             F 
So why'd you go? 
                                                 C 
The party's full of friends that you lost in the break up 
                   G 
Did you think he'd show? 
                                                  C 
and be impressed by a new dress and your sister's make-up? 


Verse 
C 
You were alone 
                            F 
Canvassing to save your reputation 
             G 
Sobbing to Simone 
                               C 
About how he up & left no explanation 
            F 
And how you drove 
                                                C 
Out to his place to pound the door and wake the neighbors 
                         G 
Til they yelled he ain't home 
                                   C 
Now go and get some sleep, do us a favor

Verse 
C 
You were alone 
                              F 
Hiding from the rain in the gazebo 
                G 
Shivered to the bone 
                           C 
and hoping for a taxi to retrieve you 
                   F 
Well if you need a ride home 
                    C 
I'm on my way up to Orinda 
                    G       C 
and you can wear my coat
