G Cm
I never told you, 'cause there wasn't time.
Em D
We were so young then, excuses that I've
G Cm
Been repeating to justify
Em D
The lies I've been feeding myself to get by.
G Cm Em D
But I'm alone tonight, tonight.
G Cm Em D
I'm alone tonight, tonight.
Tonight I'll wonder til' I fall asleep.
If I can't hear you, can you still hear me?
There is an answer to where we all go.
I hope it's together, 'cause then I would know that
Someone is waiting for me.
(I'm alone tonight, tonight).
Someone is waiting for me.
(I'm alone tonight, tonight).
I laugh and I lie 'cause I'm hurt on the inside
And that's where I want it To stay.
Luck tipped the scale so I lead fairy tales on,
But nothings worth feeling This way.
No one can hear me for all I know.
(Someone is waiting for me).
(I'm alone tonight, tonight).
No one can hear me for all I know.
(Someone is waiting for me).
(I'm alone tonight, tonight).
No one can hear me for all I know.
(Someone is waiting for me).
(I'm alone tonight, tonight).
No one can hear me for all I know.
(Someone is waiting for me).
(I'm alone tonight, tonight).
Someone is waiting for me.
Someone is waiting for me.
One of my favourite Julia songs, her voice makes me shiver in this one.
