[Intro]
D A D A
[Verse 1]
D A D A D A D A
My lover, likes to be alone
D A D A D A D A
My lover, likes to be alone
D A D
He thinks the world is his special place
A D A D A
No one else can go
[Chorus]
G A
And I'd do anything
D G
To be in his arms
[Verse 2]
D A D A
My lover does not cry
D A D A
And I have asked him to tell me why, but he just walks away
D A D A
Never bats a big brown eye
D A
Yeah, he'd rather talk to the bums on Avenue B
A A A A A
Than share a shred of his miserable life with me
[Chorus]
G A
And I'd do anything
D G
To be in his arms
[Verse 3]
D A D A
I can't say the words my lover needs to hear
D A D A
He asks me, "Do you love me?" I say the question isn't clear
D A D A
There are silences un - broken by anything but fear
D A
Of all the cruelty we've encountered
A A A A A N.C. A
And he washes down with cheap domestic beer
[Chorus]
G A
And I'd do anything
D G
To be in his arms
[Verse 4]
D A
Yeah, he's not good to me
D A
And I'm a vicious dog
D A
And there is nothing on which we agree
D A
Except we bring each other misery
D A
There's no reconciliation
D A
It's all just pain, humiliation
D A
I'd have him mowed down as roadkill
A A A N.C. A
After all of this....frustration
[Chorus]
G A
And I'd do anything
D G
To be in his arms
[Outro]
D A D A
My lover, likes to be
D A D A
Alone
