Capo 3
G C G C G C
If I must live alone, I'd rather do it by myself
G G/F# Em A D
For I've never known a mirror to shake it's head and turn and walk away
G C G
And lookin' at myself and all the things that I believe in
G D G
Left dying in the silence of the things you never say
I'm sleeping by myself, somehow I've never had you
Oh, I wish I knew the reason, I'm sure there's an answer to it all
Talking to myself is something else that I've grown used to
One-sided conversations with a narrow-minded wall
Bridge:
G C
Talk to me, oh, can't you see
G G/F# Em
That I can't bear to give my dream to someone
C D
Who would stand and let it fall.
G C G C G C
A prisoner to myself, I'm the only one that holds me
G D G
In one-sided conversations with a narrow-minded wall
G D C G
In one-sided conversations with a narrow-minded wall
