  			verse 1 
D                          A 
I blew the dust out of the corners 
G                           Bm 
Threw some dead wood on the fire 
D                  A 
Tuned the radio to silence 
G                          D 
Watched the evening sun expire 
Bm                             F#m 
Should have called you up this morning 
G                      Em 
But I'm such a fool at times 
D                         A 
I still search my shaving mirror 
C       G                  D 
Looking for your face with mine 


Chorus 
           G                   A 
     And I can't stay alone tonight 
     G                        D 
     Can't let another day go by 
               Bm 
     Why is it always this way? 
     Em                         A 
     Time never seems to really fly 
         G                          A 
     And time is never really on my side 
           G                   F#m   Bm 
     And I can't stay alone tonight 
     Em                             A 
     Things have to change and they might 
           G            A      D 
     But I can't stay alone tonight 


verse 2 
D                       A 
Chalk up one more crazy notion 
G                   Bm 
Imagination running wild 
D                     A 
But if I needed confirmation 
G                            D 
I would have gone that extra mile 
Bm                            F#m 
You're the last chance on the highway 
G                        Em 
I'm that open stretch of road 
D                      A 
You're the diner in my rear-view 
C        G              D 
A cup of coffee getting cold 


Chorus 
           G                   A 
     And I can't stay alone tonight 
     G                        D 
     Can't let another day go by 
               Bm 
     Why is it always this way? 
     Em                         A 
     Time never seems to really fly 
         G                          A 
     And time is never really on my side 
           G                   F#m   Bm 
     And I can't stay alone tonight 
     Em                             A 
     Things have to change and they might 
           G            A      D 
     But I can't stay alone tonight 


Bridge 
Bb                          Dm 
Bruised in this cold war of words 
              C                    F 
We've come undone two loose ends alone 
    Bb                            Dm 
Possessed by that curse you've endured 
                 Gm                          Asus4  A 
The spell that I cast couldn't make you come home 


Chorus 
           G                   A 
     And I can't stay alone tonight 
     G                        D 
     Can't let another day go by 
               Bm 
     Why is it always this way? 
     Em                         A 
     Time never seems to really fly 
         G                          A 
     And time is never really on my side 
           G                   F#m   Bm 
     And I can't stay alone tonight 
     Em                             A 
     Things have to change and they might 
           G            A      D 
     But I can't stay alone tonight 
      Em                             A 
     Things have to change and they might 
           G            A      D 
     But I can't stay alone tonight
