Alone from Big Country (from the album "Buffalo Skinners" (1993))
----- -----------
1)
The midday sky was grey and purple
At least it wasn't blue
I want the sky to be the way
I am and what I do
For I have been a lost and lonely /* chords for these lines are the */
Sailor on your sea /* same as for the first four */
Run aground by trusting signals
You were sending me.

2) The streets are filled with empty faces
Nothing here is new
It's just the same in other places
I have journeyed to
I was the first across the water
Last upon the land
I walked out of the silver mine
My pockets full of sand.
B) Alone inside my head /* chords the same as for 1) */
Alone inside my room
I feel alone inside my head
Alone inside my tiny little world
, , , , , ,
3) It's not my life in those old pictures
Once you threw away
For I was always someone else
And always far away
Walking in the darkest places
Where the mission meets
Waiting for the ground to open up
Beneath my feet.

) , , , /* in ), I strum the bass strings only */
Alone, inside my head
Alone inside my room
I feel alone inside my head
Alone inside my world.
I'm alone inside my head /* chords as in the first four lines of C) */
Alone inside my room
I feel alone inside my head
Alone inside my tiny little world.
