D#                            G# A#
I just don't fit in this place
D#                                G# A#
Their thoughts cast me out of here
D#                              G# A#
Their home has run out of space
D#                           G# A#
My mind's already out of here

Chorus:
F#                     G#
Won't you come along, dear?
           A#    D#
Won't you come along?

Words that are spoke alone
Phrases you will never hear
empty rooms and a telephone
That I will never use, never fear

Chorus:
I am all alone, dear
I am all alone

My dogs come sit next to me
A pack of dogs and cigarettes
My only friends speak no words to me
But they look at me and they don't forget

F#                   G#
That a boy's best friend
is his mother or whatever has become his pet
