I'm more   alone with    you than when I'm by myself. 

Verse 2: 
Another night stuck on the vine, 
Another low lit memory 
Where time will slowly have it's way with me. 
We live our lives to expect the worst 
But once it happens what is left? 
We will never have to be surprised again. 

Chorus 2: 
Just you and me not saying much of anything 
Sometimes could mean more than a thousand words 
Goodbye, farewell to this ***ed up world that was my former self.

  I'm glad you were a part of my hotel year. 

I know that on the CD, this part sounds like it is played on a piano, but 
when 
they play it live, Kris plays it on the guitar like this (it may need to be 
moved to some higher fret, but this is the basic thing:
