[Intro]
A  D
 
[Verse 1]
               A
I said "I love you,"
             D
She began to cry.
                      A
She said she needed a friend,
             D
I said "I'll try."
              A
Soon we'd say nothing,
                         D
Somehow I never wondered why,
 
 
[Chorus]
             C
You see, she left me,
    D
She left me,
    A        D
I'm alone.
 
 
[Verse 2]
               A
I'd loved her always,
           D
She didn't know.
        A
I tried patience,
                 D
Let a friendship grow.
           A
I tried to keep her,
                     D
That's what made her go.
 
 
[Chorus]
             C
You see, she left me,
    D
She left me,
    A        D
I'm alone.
 
 
[Verse 3]
               A
Beauty and the beast
             D
Was how it seemed to be.
            A
A love like hers
                  D
Ain't meant for guys like me.
             A
Some call me crazy,
                      D
Some politely call me free, but either way
 
 
[Chorus]
             C
You see, she left me,
    D
She left me,
    A        D
I'm alone.
 
 
[Bridge]
A
I'm trying to forget you but it just won't work,
            D
I think I'm losing my mind, I think I'm going berzerk,
           A
I love you with a passion that you just don't know,
         D
And I kinda wish right now that I was telling you so,
              A
I could rant, or rave, or play some little game,
           D
But when I look into your eyes, it all seems the same,
            A
You weren't meant for me and that's a sad but true fact,
            D
Now I don't care how I look and don't care how I act,
           A
You set me free; I'm a man among men,
           D
But when I think of what I missed it starts all again,
 
 
A D A D (x2)
 
 
[Verse 4]
          A
Now alone in the darkness of each new day,
            D
My heart is on its own.
        A
I wanna rip it from my chest and throw it away,
D
Watch this bassman take me home.
 
 
[Solo]

[Verse 5]
             A
I guess some day,
                  D
Love will soon be here,
          A
And maybe then,
                     D
I'll see things more clear.
              A
I guess I got excited,
                 D
Cause it felt so near, and
 
 
[Chorus]
             C
You see, she left me,
    D
She left me,
    A        D
I'm alone.
 
 
[Verse 6]
                       A
But I know I'd give my life,
                 D
Just to hold her now,
        A
And who knows?
                D
I might see her around.
                    A
Hopes can always go up.
                    D
Tears can only come down.
 
 
[Chorus]
             C
You see, she left me,
    D
She left me,
    A        D
I'm alone.
