Verse 1 

Am         F              G 
I hear the ticking of the clock 
       C - G        Am               F    G    C-G  
I'm lying here the room's pitch dark 
Am       F             G 
I wonder where you are tonight 
      C - G      Am           F    G   C-G 
No answer on the telephone 

Refrain 

Am                       F          C    G 
And the night goes by so very slow 
Am                       F          C    G 
Oh I hope that it won't end though 
C 
Alone... 

Chorus 

F#m - D    A          E            F#m 
Till now I always got by on my own 
F#m - D        A             E       F#m 
I never really cared until I met you 
F#m - D    A                 E  
And now it chills me to the bone 
A        D       E 
How do I get you alone 
A        D       E 
How do I get you alone 

Verse 2 
Am             F               G 
You don't know how long I have wanted 
C             G        Am               F    G    C-G 
to touch your lips and hold you tight,oh 
Am             F               G 
You don't know how long I have waited 
C         G        Am          F    G    C-G 
and I was going to tell you tonight 

Refrain 

        Am        F        C    G 
But the secret is still my own 
        Am             F     C        G 
and my love for you is still unknown 
C 
Alone....

Till now I always got by on my own 
F#m - D        A             E       F#m 
I never really cared until I met you

And now it chills me to the bone 
A        D       E 
How do I get you alone 
A        D       E 
How do I get you alone
