[Verso 1]
 
          Am                              Dm 
Another night falls and I gaze at the moon so bright 
                       Am                          C   C/E 
Saw a distant star and thought of your light, your light 
E                       Am                          Dm 
Stuck inside these four walls for most this long year 
                               E 
Thought a few drinks might help it all disappear 

         A             Am                           Dm 
It's been a while now, a month since you walked away 
                        Am                          C 
Dealing with the karma of each passing day 
                            Am                          Dm 
Still holding back these tears for all the world to see 
                               E                          Am 
While my brethren and sisters are out there feeling free 


[Verso 2]
 
                Am                         Dm 
This year started different, back in that sunrise glow 
                     Am                             C 
Now I step in this bar and the sadness starts to flow 
            Am                             Dm 
Every melody plays like an echo of your name 
                        Am                      E 
And I feel that lump form in my throat just the same 


[Refrão]

                  Am 
'Cause I'm here alone 
             Dm 
Yeah, here alone 
      Am               C   C/E  E 
Just swaying with my eyes closed 
Am 
Here alone 
             Dm 
Yeah, here alone 
      Am               C   C/E  E  Am 
Just swaying with my eyes closed 


[Verso 3]
 
            Am                          Dm 
Everywhere I look your face I still can see 
                    Am                          C 
And the hands of the clock move so slow for me 
                       Am                            Dm 
Don't know how to let go though I know I should try 
                     Am                           E 
Every shadow in the corner reminds me of goodbye 


[Verso 4]
 
            Am                           Dm 
Memories linger like smoke in this empty room 
                     Am                         C 
Whispers of laughter now lost in the gloom 
                  Am                            Dm 
I reach for the bottle to numb what I feel 
                        Am                        E 
But nothing can heal what your absence revealed 



[Refrão]
 
                  Am 
'Cause I'm here alone 
             Dm 
Yeah, here alone 
      Am               C   C/E  E 
Just swaying with my eyes closed 
Am 
Here alone 
             Dm 
Yeah, here alone 
      Am               C   C/E  E  Am 
Just swaying with my eyes closed 


[Ponte]
 
Dm                  Am 
   And time keeps on moving 
C                   E 
   But I'm stuck in this place 
Am                  Dm 
   With your ghost in my arms 
       Am                E 
And that smile on your face 

Outro 
                  Am 
Yeah, I'm here alone 
             Dm 
Here alone 
      Am               C   C/E  E 
Just swaying with my eyes closed 
Am 
Here alone 
             Dm 
Yeah, here alone 
      Am               C   C/E  E  Am 
Just swaying with my eyes closed 
      Dm         Am               C   C/E  E  Am 
Just swaying...      with my eyes closed
