                         F
Sometimes I need to be alone
                           C
Block every number in my phone
                           F
I'm hoping you can understand
                            C
Why I can't always be your man
                          F
Some things about me you don't know
                        C
I'm too afraid to see you go
                          F
Why can't it be like the first time?
                         C
It's so much better the first time
(When I'd just lost my mind for you)

Chorus:
 C           Am
When the sky falls
                   Dm
And the world is ending
                    G
And the rain comes down
                             C
You tell me it's not now or never
                    Am
But I can't wait forever
                    Dm
It's such a simple question
                  G#
With such an easy answer
                            C
I love you but it feels so bad
                          Am
When you talk to me like that
                    Dm
It's such a simple question
                  G
With such an easy answer

       C Am
I'm afraid
      Dm G#
It's you

Sometimes I need to be alone
Drive far away all on my own
I don't know what else I can say
Sure I'll be back sometime today
You know you sing like an angel
Could I hear that one again?
(You know you sing like an angel)

Chorus

(It's you, it's you, it's you)
But I'm afraid
(It's you, it's you, it's you)
(It's you, it's you, it's you)
It's you
(It's you, it's you, it's you)
(It's you, it's you, it's you)
I'm afraid
(It's you, it's you, it's you)
(It's you, it's you, it's you)
(It's you, it's you, it's you)
It's you, it's you, it's you
It's you, it's you, it's you
It's you, it's you, it's you
It's you, it's you, it's you
It's you, it's you, it's you
It's you, it's you, it's you
It's you, it's you, it's you
It's you, it's you, it's you
(Sometimes I need to be alone)
It's you, it's you, it's you
It's you, it's you, it's you
(Block every number in my phone)
It's you, it's you, it's you
It's you, it's you, it's you
(Sometimes I need to be alone)
It's you, it's you, it's you
