Em B5 C G
At arm's length, you held your spouse and children.

Your lack of grace so nearly killed them.

He's promised me still that this won't end in tears.

Em B5 C G
'Cause we're not alone, no we're not alone now, honey.
Em B5 C G
Save your own 'cause we're not alone.
VERSE
Back home to find the garden as you left it.
Roses in full bloom, so glad you invested.
So you found, this room couldn't hold you down.
Stepped through these walls and taste life to the fullest.

Not alone, no we're not alone now, honey.
We'll make it home 'cause we're not alone.
Not alone, no we're not alone now, honey.
Save your own 'cause we're not alone.

Listen closer, hold your tongue

Your tired eyes speak louder than words.
Speak louder than words, come on, oh...

Not alone, no we're not alone now, honey.
We'll make it home 'cause we're not alone.

Save your own 'cause we're not alone.
Not alone, no we're not alone now, honey.
We'll make it home 'cause we're not alone.
