[Intro]
      x2

[Verse 1]
          
I said "I love

 you,"
             
She began to c

ry.
             
She said she n

eeded a friend

,
             
I said "I'll t

ry."
              
Soon we'd say 


nothing,

  Somehow I ne

ver wondered w

hy,


[Chorus]
             
You see, she l

eft me,
    
She left me,
             
I'm alone, I'm

  
 alone.
           
I'm alone, alo

ne.


[Verse 2]
              
I'd loved her 


always,
           
She didn't kno

w.
        
I tried patien

ce,

 Let a friends

hip grow.
           
I tried to kee

p her,

 That's what m

ade her go.


[Chorus]
             
You see, she l

eft me,
    
She left me,
             
I'm alone, I'm

  
 alone.
             
I'm alone, I'm

  
 alone.


[Verse 3]
              
Beauty and the

 
 beast
              
Was how it see

       
med to be.
            
A love like he

rs
              
Ain't meant fo

    
r guys like me

.
             
Some call me c

razy,

 Some politely

 call me free,

 but either wa

y


[Chorus]
    
She left me,
    
She left me,
             
I'm alone, I'm

  
 alone.
          
So alone, alon

e.


[Break]
      x2


[Bridge]
    
I'm trying to 

forget you but

 it just won't

 work,
          
Think I'm losi

ng my mind, th

ink I'm going 

berserk,
  
I love you wit

h a passion th

at you just do

n't know,
      
And I kinda wi

sh right now t

hat I was tell

ing you so,
        
I could rant, 

or rave, or pl

ay some little

 game,
           
But when I loo

k into your ey

es, it all see

ms the same,
    
You weren't me

ant for me, th

at's a sad but

 true fact,
      
Now I don't ca

re how I look 

and I don't ca

re how I act,
    
You set me fre

e; I'm a man a

mong men,
           
But when I thi

nk of what I m

issed it start

s all again,


[Solo]
            x2


[Verse 4]
     
Now alone in t

he darkness of

 each new day,
   
My heart is on

 its own.
        
I wanna rip it

 from my chest

 and throw it 

away,

Watch this bas

sman, take me 

home.


[Solo]
            x6


[Verse 5]
             
I guess some d

ay,
              
Love will soon

    
 be here,
          
And maybe then

,
              
I'll see thing

       
s more clear.
         
I guess I got 

excited,

 'Cause it fel

t so near, and


[Chorus]
             
You see, she l

eft me,
    
She left me,
             
I'm alone, I'm

  
 alone.
             
I'm alone, I'm

  
 alone.


[Verse 6]
              
But I know I'd

         
 give my life,
              
Just to hold h

   
er now,
              
And who knows?

 
        
I might   see 

her around.

 Hopes can alw

ays go up.

 Tears can onl

y come down.


[Chorus]
             
You see, she l

eft me,
    
She left me,
             
I'm alone, I'm

  
 alone.
             
I'm alone, I'm

  
 alone, alone,

 alone.


[Outro]
           
Alone, I'm alo

ne.
             
I'm alone, I'm

  
 alone, I'm al

one, I'm alone

.
          
I'm alone ...
