[G] [Cm]
[Eb] [F] [Bb]
[Dm] [G] [Cm] I leave the house, I catch the [F] bus and go to work [Bb] the way I did before.
[Gm] [Eb] The same routine, [Am] most every [D] day except I guess [Gm] I see my folks much more.
[Fm] A [Bb] [Eb] year has passed, [E] I thought by now [A] I could [Dm] make a new life [A] of my [F] own.
[Cm] But habits are [Eb] so [Bb] [Cm] hard [F] to break.
I think [Bb] of you [F] and I still [G] ache.
[Cm] It takes too long [G] to learn [Eb] to live [Bb] alone.
[Gb] [Dbm] It's really bad [E] when [Gb] Friday comes because I know [B] the weekend lies [Abm] ahead.
[Dbm] The walks we took, [Bbm] the football games [Eb] and when it rained [Abm] out late this day in [Gbm] Bay.
I've [B] [E] done so much to [F] change the [Bb] house, the attic's full [Ebm] of memories I've known.
[Eb] [Ab] [Dbm] And yet when I [E] turn out [Gb] the light, [B] I wait for you to [Gb] say [Am] goodnight.
[Dbm] It takes too long to learn [Em] to live [B] alone.
[G] [Dm] I go on dates, [Gm] but when I do [G] I always find [C] before the night is through.
[Em] [E] [A] [Dm] The same old [F] thing, [Bm] behind my [Em] smile I'm [E] sitting [Am] there comparing you to [Gm] you.
[C] [F]
[Gbm] [B] [Bm] I [Em] [D] [A] [Dm] thought that I [F] was [Dm] free [G] of you, [C] but I was wrong.
[Em] I [E] never knew [Dm] it takes too long [A] to learn [Fm] to [C] live alone.
[Gm] [C] [F]
[Gbm] It weighs [B] you up yet [Bm] even more when [E] [G] [D] [A] [Am] I thought that [Dm] I [F] was free of [G] you.
Oh, [C] but I was wrong.
[G] I never [A] knew [Dm] it takes too long [F] to [G] learn to live
[C] alone.
[F]
I'm [C] alone.
