I have added Am and changed the chords slightly from the other tabs because Am
sounds better than C. I watched an Acoustic version of Sleep Alone performed by
Two Door and am sure this is 99% correct.
*Update* I MET ALEX AND HE SAID THESE WERE RIGHT YAAY, I have the chords written
on my hand right now and I just checked them :}
If you want to ask me anything about the chords, tweet me @beckyisaseal :D

how on earth did you meet Alex Trimble?!!
Anyway my chords came out pretty much the same as yours, but I just watched a couple of the Sleep Alone acoustic videos, and while your bridge no doubt works, he plays something else. Some variation of Em and then B to replace your Bm, Em, and D. I can't quite make it out though, it's in here /watch?v=hMybMF-tZTI
Anyway, nice work. love playing this song.
@playyourlife I waited outside the venue for them before the gig where I live and met them before they went to do a signing :) He just told me the chorus chords so I could check I'd got most of them right!
Yeaah I can't play B because my hands are too small to do barre chords, if you do work it out fully just tell me them :)
Thanks so much!
That's really awesome. I'd love to even see them live, let alone meet them.
I have the tiniest hands ever and I can play B, you can do it! If you capo up a bit it makes it easier. Anyway I'll let you know if I figure the chords out.
