F                        Bb         F 
Times were tough love was not enough 
                                  C    F 
So you said sorry Johnny I'm gone gone gone 

You said my act was funny 
           Bb         F 
But we both knew what was missing honey 
               C        Bb 
So you let out on your own 
                             F 
Now that pretty form that you've got baby 
Bb                    C    F 
Will make sure you get along 
    Bb                     C       F 
But you're gonna find our someday honey 

Bb                        C  F 
When You're alone you're alone 
Bb                        C  F 
When You're alone you're alone 
Bb                        C  F 
When You're alone you're alone 
Bb                              C         F   C 
When You're alone you ain't nothing but alone 

          F                       Bb                  F 
Now I was young and pretty on the mean streets of the city 
                        C    F 
And I fought to make'em my home 
                                          Bb                   F 
With just the shirt on my back I left and swore I'd never look back 
                   C     Bb 
And man I was gone gone gone 
                                              F 
But there's things that'll knock you down you don't even see coming 
Bb                           C         F 
And send you crawling like a baby back home 
 Bb                    C       F 
You're gonna find out that day sugar 

Bb                        C  F 
When You're alone you're alone 
Bb                        C  F 
When You're alone you're alone 
Bb                        C  F 
When You're alone you're alone 
Bb                              C         F   C | Bb | Bb | Gm7 | Gm7 | C | C 
When You're alone you ain't nothing but alone 

                F 
I knew some day your runnin' would be through 
           Bb                  F 
And you'd think back on me and you 
                        C   F 
And your love would be strong 
                                                   Bb             F 
You'd forget all the bad and think only of all the laughs that we had 
                     C  Bb 
And you'd wanna come home 
                    F 
Now it ain't hard feelings or nothin' sugar 
Bb                                    F 
That ain't what's got me singing this song 
     Bb                     C          F 
It's just nobody knows baby where love goes 
Bb                    C     Dm 
But when it goes it's gone gone 

Bb                        C  F 
When You're alone you're alone 
Bb                        C  F 
When You're alone you're alone 
Bb                        C  F 
When You're alone you're alone 
Bb                              C         Dm 
When You're alone you ain't nothing but alone 

Bb                        C  F 
When You're alone you're alone 
Bb                        C  F 
When You're alone you're alone 
Bb                        C  F
