Verse 1 

Am         F              G
I hear the ticking of the clock 
    Em             Am               F  G  E
I'm lying here the room's pitch dark 
Am       F             G
I wonder where you are tonight 
   Em            Am           F  G  E
No answer on the telephone 

Refrain 

        F             C            F    C
And the night goes by so very slow 
     F            C              F    G
Oh I hope that it won't end though 
C
Alone... 

Chorus 

Dm   Bb    F          C            Dm
Till now I always got by on my own 
Bb             F           C             Dm    Bb   F#m
I never really cared until I met you 
           F               C
And now it chills me to the bone 
Dm        Bb       C
How do I get you alone 
Dm        Bb       C
How do I get you alone 

Verse 2 
Am                  F                     G
You don't know how long I have wanted 
   Em                        Am                F    G   E
to touch your lips and hold you tight 
Am                  F                     G
You don't know how long I have wanted 
      Em                Am          F    G    E
and I was going to tell you tonight 

Refrain 

        F               C                 F    C
But the secret is still my own 
         F             F     C        G
and my love for you is still unknown 
C
Alone.... 

Chorus 2 

Dm   Bb    F          C            Dm
Till now I always got by on my own 
Bb             F           C             Dm    Bb   F#m
I never really cared until I met you 
           F               C
And now it chills me to the bone 
Dm        Bb       C
How do I get you alone 
Dm        Bb       C
How do I get you alone
