We all die alone 
        C                                 F           C 
So why care so much about living with someone else? 
                F                C                       
Maybe it's because I'm getting older that I don't understand

Once a week, every week, I would see you,    and it would make mine 
Em         G            F     Em       Dm   C         F 
Don't you want to be something better than you were?
