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

[Refrain]
Am                       F          C    G
And the night goes by so very slow
Am                       F          C    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
I never really cared until I met you
Dm   Bb    F                C
And now it chills me to the bone
Dm        Bb       C
How do I get you alone

[Verse 2]
Am             F               G
You don't know how long I have wanted
C             G        Am               F    G    C G
to touch your lips and hold you tight,oh
Am             F               G
You don't know how long I have waited
C         G        Am          F    G    C G
and I was going to tell you tonight

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

[Chorus]
Dm   Bb    F          C            Dm
Till now I always got by on my own
Bb             F             C
I never really cared until I met you
Dm   Bb    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
