  			G                    C 
Can anyone hear but me 
G            C 
The ivy surrounds you 
G      C 
infinitesamally  
Em                   C 
Does anyone love you? 
A                C 
Baby, just me 
G                                  C 
Youre caught in the darkness 
G                         D                  Am 
The only place you can be alone 
C           Em         A7 
alone, alone 

G                 C 
A series of strangers 
G                         C 
or shall we say absent friends 
G               C 
Parading before you 
G              D 
Into your life she bends 
Am                     C 
So hollow and lonely 
Am                    C 
Its making you see 
G                       C 
You'll only get better 
G                                    D                Am 
When you've learned how to be alone 
C          Em       A7 
Alone, alone 

(JANGLY JANGLY ON THE G AN OCTIVE UP?) 

G                    C 
What does it matter? 
G                                C 
Youre seeking the eyes long shade 
G                                     C 
Ive brought you some onions 
G              C 
Cry now dont be afraid 
Am                    C 
Their walking towards you 
Am                       C 
The angels from everywhere 
G                                C 
The ghost of you're body 
G                        D                  Am 
is bringing you back to her alone 
C           Em      A7       D  
Alone, alone, alone, alone
