verse 1 

        G 
Always teaching me how to be 
          D 
When your folks are not here to see 
                A 
You're crashing on the floor with me 
      Bm 
But I can't sleep 
    G 
And I don't wanna know 
               D 
You've found another place to go 
       A 
I copy everything practical 
            Bm 
And for the last time I am sure 


Pre-Chorus 

G   D 
Ooh, you are not alone 
A            Bm 
Ooh, for the last time I am sure 
G   D 
Ooh, you are not alone 
A            Bm 
Ooh, for the last time I am sure 


G    Em                           Bm  A      D   A  
      I know what to feel when you decide, oh why 
G   Em                                 Bm A D A 
Hey, where is the appeal when you don't try, try? 

G Em Bm A D A 


verse 2 

          G 
It's your only way to live 
            D 
Three doors down and one room in 
          A 
I lose my mind amongst your things 
      Bm 
But I can't swim 
         G 
It's the same it's just like then 
           D 
When I was nine and you were ten 
        A 
Wishing we could still be friends 
         Bm 
Where we move is where we end 


Pre-Chorus 

G   D 
Ooh, you are not alone 
A            Bm 
Ooh, for the last time I am sure 
G   D 
Ooh, you are not alone 
A            Bm 
Ooh, for the last time I am sure 


G    Em                           Bm  A      D   A  
      I know what to feel when you decide, oh why 
G   Em                                 Bm A D A 
Hey, where is the appeal when you don't try, try? 


Bridge 

G            Em    Bm A D A 
  But I can't swim 
G             Em               Bm A              D A 
  But I can't swim, but I can't swim, but I can't swim 
G    Em                           Bm  A      D   A  
      I know what to feel when you decide, oh why 
G   Em                                 Bm A D A 
Hey, where is the appeal when you don't try, try? 


G    Em                           Bm  A      D   A
