1. When I was young, I never needed anyone, 
            A                 Dm    G                  C    Dm G 
    making love was just for fun,     those days are gone. 
      C                       Dm                     C    C7 
    Living alone, I think of all the friends I`ve known, 
                       A                   Dm     G     C C7 A A7 D Dm   G 
    but when I dial the telephone,     nobody`s home.

    All by myself, don`t wanna be,   all by myself, anymore. 
C             Em               Em5b   A            Dm    G7   G

                   A              Dm     G             C   Dm G 
    and love`s so distant and obscure,     remains secure. 
      C                       Dm                     C     C7
