Alone Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]
[Em]And I get [Am]older,
I can't hold the weight I got with you shoulders
I need to buck up and be stoic like
Greek soldiers
[Em]It seems like I'm always starting over but I
guess that's just the life I've chosen
Still opposing [Am]forces,
line up and cock -block along their chosen courses
Feeling forced to lay blame
and take down their forges
I've [Em]been blissed lately
You couldn't make me settle down,
mister let me list the ways
This is gonna get me off the ground
And you [Am]can't climb a mountain
and miss it on the vista
Shit, I've been climbing cliffs and
broken through the mist
Seems [Em]got a different twist,
gotta make sure I exist
So I pinch myself on the arm
just before I slit the wrist
And I [Am]jitterbug with a mug full
of hot caffeination
And then flee the hive cause I
can't take this generation gap
[Em]Broke talk shit,
read no text and act out loud
Instinct says, think outside the crowd
Alone
[Am]This song's for those
who like to be alone
Sleep alone
Leave it alone
And at home just bein' on your own
[Em]Alone
This song's for those
who hate to be alone
Sleep alone
We left alone,
scared to find something to call our own
[Am]Sometimes when I'm alone
I feel like I'm really not
In my own hideaway I feel like
I'm being watched
When [Em]I'm alone I argue with myself and analyze
my life just to clean the dust off the shelf
All alone [Am]carrying my disappointments
I seem to have carried out every mistake
that would leave my ass broken hearted
[Em]Weeping and sore,
but I don't want to be alone no more
Don't want to be lonely no more
And [Am]I can't complain,
maintaining till I gain
A little wisdom that comes when
nothing can be changed
[Em]Things get done better when
I let the weight go
Damn, feel the sounds of folks screamin'
Ay, yo!
[Am]The night illuminated in
shades of day flow
This kingdom won't grow unless I say so
It's [Em]a cold, cold world and I
ain't even gotta cope
But I ain't scared to share some meat
But I don't wanna rock the boat alone
[Am]This song's for those
who like to be alone
Sleep alone, sleepin' alone
Feelin' at home just bein' on your own
[Em]Alone
This song's for those
who hate to be alone
Sleep alone, be left alone
Scared to find something to
call their own
[Am]This is my ode to me, my code of honesty
My goal to show my prophecy
The toll upon my soul is a story
enforced right [Em]in front of me
Hunting me down, looking for the right score,
blanking and covering me now
Now why do I feel like every time I
achieve they shutting [Am]me down?
Sometimes I get boxed in and feel
the life's toxins
Whenever I left that door open,
that's when the trouble walk in
[Em]And I'm lost somewhere in
between the pulse of this
But gotta keep on hardin' this no
matter how hard it gets
[Am]Keep on taking steady steps to sleep
with a wicked rest
And remain the beast that can guest
every inch of this fuckin' quest
An[Em]d it ain't no easy thing to
appreciate the joy that music brings
I feel like a vessel the way the
angels sing to me
[Am]An d time's an enemy and I'm subtly thinking
about these inanimate objects in my house
That gonna outlast me and it makes
my heart beat heavily
An[Em]d that's a journey that
I must go on my own
When the lights start to fade
I must go on alone
Alone
[Am]This song's for those
who like to be alone
Sleep alone
Leave it alone
Feeling at home just being on your own
[Em]Alone
This song's for those
who hate to be alone
Sleep alone
Be left alone
Too scared to find something to
[Am]call your own
Alone
This song's for those
who love to be alone
Sleep alone
Leave it alone
Feeling at home just being on your own
[Em]Alone
This song's for those
who love to be alone
Sleep alone
Be left alone
Too scared to find something to
call your own
[Am]I must admit to that puzzle
You hipsters claim to be such relaxed, free spirit[Em]s,
yet your rules for social behavior
are even more set, tight,
and rigid than those of square soci[Am]ety.
Yeah, well, dang,
it's simple. I'll spell it out for you, you know.
A [Em]lot of the simple everyday
behavior is really good.
So there's always a lot
of need on the scene.
[Bm]And, you k[Am]now,
you've got to protect yourself.
Now, if you break the rules a bit,
you get put down [Em]in the streets.
But you break the square rules,
and they throw you in the slam.
That's the big difference.
[Bm]Anyw[Am]ay,
there's only two basic rules in here.
You protect your[Em]self from the
possibility of police intervention.
And you protect your state of mind.
