[Intro]
C - C7 - F - Fm [x2]
[Verse 1]
C C7
On my own I know I’m safe
F
I have no need to misbe-have
Fm
And deep within I have a faith
C
That keeps me tuning in
C7
Each frequency will zing
F
Just like a chord
Fm C C7 F Fm
On my own I’m never bored
[Verse 2]
C C7
So here I sit alone at night
F
Punching shadows in the light
Fm
Half a moon is burning bright
C
Down by the sea
C7
Its face looks at me
F Fm
Just like a prawn
C C7 F Fm
On my own I’m never bored
[Verse 3]
C C7
I hear the drunk and see his shape
F
He never stops to take a break
Fm
He likes the brew on his corn-flake
C
That's ok to me
C7
But I must let it be
F Fm
Or be ig-nored
C C7 F Fm
On my own I’m never bored
Am
[Chorus]
G F G Am
On my own I can touch the sky
G F
On my own I can climb a tree
C F C F
I can reach the fruit from within me
C F
Be-fore it falls
C F
Without getting bored
C F
Bored with you
G C F Fm
Being stuck with me
[Verse 4]
C
She lies in bed the land of nod
F
I know she dreams of being God
Fm
But her fingers are made of cod
C
And not of magic strokes
C7
She sleeps with other blokes
F Fm
Yes, I am a-ssured
C
On my own I’m never bored
[Verse 5]
C
There was a time when I’d get pissed
F
But now I see a thera-pist
Fm
He helps me through the old red mist
C
He thinks I might be gay
C7
But just like tooth de-cay
F Fm
That feels sore
Am
On my own I'm never bored
[Chorus]
G F G Am
On my own I can touch the sky
G F
On my own I can climb a tree
C F C F
I can reach the fruit from within me
C F
Be-fore it falls
C F C
Without getting bored
F
Bored with you
G C
Getting stuck with me
