Alone  from  Big Country (from the album "Buffalo Skinners" (1993))
-----        -----------

          
    The midday

            
 sky was grey 

     
and purple
            
    At least i

             
t wasn't blue
            
    I want the

            
 sky to be the

  
 way
             
    I am and w

 
hat I do
    For I have been a lost and lonely   /* chords for these lines are the */
    Sailor on your sea                  /* same as for the first four */
    Run aground by trusting signals
    You were sending me.

2)  The streets are filled with empty faces
    Nothing here is new
    It's just the same in other places
    I have journeyed to
    I was the first across the water
    Last upon the land
    I walked out of the silver mine
    My pockets full of sand.

B)  Alone inside my head                /* chords the same as for 1) */
    Alone inside my room
    I feel alone inside my head
    Alone inside my tiny little world
    ,  , ,  , ,  , 

3)  It's not my life in those old pictures
    Once you threw away
    For I was always someone else
    And always far away
    Walking in the darkest places
    Where the mission meets
    Waiting for the ground to open up
    Beneath my feet.

    Alone, ins

ide my head
      
    Alone insi

de my room
       
    I feel alo

ne inside my h

ead
             
    Alone insi

       
de my world.
    I'm alone inside my head  /* chords as in the first four lines of C) */
    Alone inside my room
    I feel alone inside my head
    Alone inside my tiny little world.
