G 
Been alone so long 
                   D 
that I've forgotten what it's like 
C 
  to feel somebody next to me 
      Em 
and  hear her breathing peacefully 
       D            G  D C 
when I wake up at ni-g-ht. 
               Em 
wake up at night 


G 
Been alone so long 
                   D 
that I've forgotten what to say-- 
C 
  if I meet somebody who 
       Em 
might easily resemble you 
  D                 G D C 
I smile, but look a-w-a-y... 
               Em 
      I look away.

G 
Been alone so long 
                   D 
that I've forgotten what to do: 
C 
  how to make the whole thing right 
      Em 
and how to help if she's uptight 
      C 
and when to run and when to fight... 
Em 
how to make her stay the night-- 
         D         G   D  C 
that's if I ever knew----- 
              Em 
If I ever knew.
