   	      Bm7      E7
You're just a mile away
	     Bm7   		   E7
One thousand five tiny steps from here
	   G
But if I brought you near
 A	     E7		 Bm7 E7 Bm7
Would you believe when I say

It seems like yesterday
That I could reach out and touch your face
But as I fall from grace
Into whose arms can I lay

F#	              G F#
It's always much too late
   	    E
We get the signs
F#       	 G  F#
We can't communicate
   	      G   A
Or turn back time

Chorus:
B              F#m
So what will be now
	         A
Do you feel somehow
          E		            B
Not so together and not quite as strong
	 F#m
Now I believe
  D	       A	    F#m
Alone doesn't have to mean lonely
E             Bm7
After you've gone

I need a healing wind
To cool the flame burning in my sight
It must accelarate
For two wrongs they don't make a right

And all these solitaires, lone victories
Wars faught in isolation, with none to please

Chorus:
So what will be now, do you feel somehow
Not so together and not quite as strong
Now I believe
Alone doesn't have to mean lonely
After you've gone

The future's still uncertain, the past is done

Chorus:
So what will be now, do you feel somehow
Not so together and not quite as strong
Now I believe
Alone doesn't have to mean lonely
After you've gone

Now I believe
Alone doesn't have to mean lonely
After you've gone

Now I believe
Alone doesn't have to mean lonely
After you've gone
