verse 1
D A
I blew the dust out of the corners
G Bm
Threw some dead wood on the fire
D A
Tuned the radio to silence
G D
Watched the evening sun expire
Bm F#m
Should have called you up this morning
G Em
But I'm such a fool at times
D A
I still search my shaving mirror
C G D
Looking for your face with mine
Chorus
G A
And I can't stay alone tonight
G D
Can't let another day go by
Bm
Why is it always this way?
Em A
Time never seems to really fly
G A
And time is never really on my side
G F#m Bm
And I can't stay alone tonight
Em A
Things have to change and they might
G A D
But I can't stay alone tonight
verse 2
D A
Chalk up one more crazy notion
G Bm
Imagination running wild
D A
But if I needed confirmation
G D
I would have gone that extra mile
Bm F#m
You're the last chance on the highway
G Em
I'm that open stretch of road
D A
You're the diner in my rear-view
C G D
A cup of coffee getting cold
Chorus
G A
And I can't stay alone tonight
G D
Can't let another day go by
Bm
Why is it always this way?
Em A
Time never seems to really fly
G A
And time is never really on my side
G F#m Bm
And I can't stay alone tonight
Em A
Things have to change and they might
G A D
But I can't stay alone tonight
Bridge
Bb Dm
Bruised in this cold war of words
C F
We've come undone two loose ends alone
Bb Dm
Possessed by that curse you've endured
Gm Asus4 A
The spell that I cast couldn't make you come home
Chorus
G A
And I can't stay alone tonight
G D
Can't let another day go by
Bm
Why is it always this way?
Em A
Time never seems to really fly
G A
And time is never really on my side
G F#m Bm
And I can't stay alone tonight
Em A
Things have to change and they might
G A D
But I can't stay alone tonight
Em A
Things have to change and they might
G A D
But I can't stay alone tonight
