Capo 3 
 
   G5                 C5                      G5    C5   G5   C5  
If I must live alone, I'd rather do it by myself 
         G5             G5      E5                           A5          D5 
For I've never known a mirror to shake it's head and turn and walk away 
    G5                C5                            G5 
And lookin' at myself and all the things that I believe in 
     G5                   D5                        G5  
Left dying in the silence of the things you never say 
 
I'm sleeping by myself, somehow I've never had you 

Oh, I wish I knew the reason, I'm sure there's an answer to it all 

Talking to myself is something else that I've grown used to 

One-sided conversations with a narrow-minded wall 
 
Bridge: 
G5               C5 
Talk to me, oh, can't you see  
             G5               G5         E5 
That I can't bear to give my dream to someone  
          C5                D5  
Who would stand and let it fall. 
 
 
  G5                  C5                      G5   C5   G5   C5 
A prisoner to myself, I'm the only one that holds me 
       G5                   D5                    G5  
In one-sided conversations with a narrow-minded wall 
       G5                   D5                    C5    G5  
In one-sided conversations with a narrow-minded wall
