Intro: C  G  Am  Em  F    C  G 

N.C.    C 
I could stop right here 
         G 
Turn this car around 
     C                 Em 
Walk back through the door 
         F       G 
Put my suitcase down 
F 
Tell you I'm sorry 
    C                         G 
And things would be alright, I know 


       C                     G 
But it all comes down to the lesser of two 
 Am                  Em 
Alone by myself or alone with you 
         F 
And if I have to be lonely 
    G                 C 
I'd rather be lonely alone 


           F                G 
I'd rather miss someone out on this highway 
     C              Dm7         F 
Than someone who's sitting just three feet away 
                                G 
And I'd rather be fighting some old memories 
        Dm7           F      G  
Than to wonder if you ever really loved me 


        C                    G 
I could keep going on like I have all along 
Am                            Em 
Telling myself that there's nothing wrong 
         F 
But if I have to be lonely 
    G                 Eb 
I'd rather be lonely alone
