G#maj7 Cm A#sus4     G#
I'd swim across Lake Michigan
G#maj7 Cm   A#sus4 G#
I'd sell my shoes
G#maj7 Cm    A#sus4     G#
I'd give my body to be back again
G#maj7  Cm         A#sus4 G#
In the rest of the room

Chorus:
G#      D#        G#
To be alone with you
        Cm        Fsus2/A
To be alone with you
        G#
To be alone with you
        D#   A#   G#maj7
To be alone with you

You gave your body to the lonely
They took your clothes
You gave up a wife and a family
You gave your ghost

Chorus:
To be alone with me
To be alone with me
To be alone with me
You went up on a tree

To be alone with me
You went up on a tree

I've never known a man who loved me
