If I Have To Be Alone Chords

[Intro]
F
F/G F
 
[Verse 1]
F/G   F
If I have to be alone
F/G            F
Then I should make my mind serene
F/G               F
After all you're born alone, you die alone
                         F/G               F
You might as well spend every moment in between alone
 
F/G       F
But if I have to be alone
F/G          F
Then it will be on my own terms
F/G           F
I can never talk about it, ever show it
                 F/G                        F
Even though the world is watching while I squirm alone
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
                   A                        G
And your bleeding heart friends say, "isn't it sad? "
                       B5
Then they all go make love
               G        A
While you go insane. insane!
              B5   B5/G
It drives you mad! mad!
 
 
[Chorus 1]
   B5 A     G  G/F# Em  A
My mind, I love my mind
           G
And if no one can feel the same
G/A     G
I'm a computer with a name
G/F          F
And I've got no one else to blame
F/G    F
If I have to be alone
 
 
[Verse 2]
         F
And if nobody understands
F/G             F
That special creature that is me
F/G           F
And if they fail to see the me I see
                        F/G                   F
Then no one else knows truly what it means to be alone
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
               A                     G
Maybe once a lifetime you lose your will
                            B5
Then you can let down your guard
                   G        A
But they cower in fear. in fear
              B5   B5/G
It makes you ill! Ill!
 
 
[Chorus 2]
    B5  A    G  G/F# Em  A
My heart, my burning heart
           G
And if no one will quench the flame
G/A       G
I'm not obliged to do the same
G/A               G/F
And then they'll have to share the blame
F/G        F
Because I have to be alone
F/G        F
Because I have to be alone
F/G          F
But I don't want to be alone
