Once again I have had trouble finding a complete On your own version to
my liking. So here is my own version with lyrics and base once again
from other sources but just with the correct timing and actual chords.
The problem with verve stuff is that you can find correct lyrics with
incorect chords and some good progression ideas for the song with bad
lyrics. So here it is, the definative On your own chording.


Chords

G - 320033
Cadd9 - X32033
E7add2 - 022032
Am7 - 002013
NB: Through electric parts of this song the rythm guitar can play
standard G C and Em.

Verse 1
-------
G                       Cadd9
Tell me what you've seen
         E7add2
Was it a dream?
Cadd9
Was I in it?
G                   Cadd9
Life seems so obscene
          Em
Until its over
    Cadd9
Who knows?


Chorus
------
G                Am7
All I want is someone
        Cadd9
Who can fill the hole
       Em
In the life I know
G                     Am7
In between life and death
                     Cadd9
When there's nothing left
       Em
Do you want to know?
               Cadd9
You come in on your own
Em
And you leave on your own
Cadd9
Forget the lovers you've known
Em
And your friends on the road

Verse 2
-------
G               Cadd9
Tell me if its true
            Em
That I need you
   Cadd9
You are changing
G                          Cadd9
I've seen this road before down
        Em
On this floor
      Cadd9
It is hurting me


Chorus
------
G                Am7
All I want is someone
        Cadd9
Who can fill the hole
       Em
In the life I know
G                     Am7
In between life and death
                     Cadd9
When there's nothing left
       Em
Do you want to know?
               Cadd9
You come in on your own
Em
And you leave on your own
Cadd9
Forget the lovers you've known
Em
And your friends on the road


Middle 8
--------
Cadd9   Em                      Cadd9          Em
Lies, I've got to get rid of this hole inside...
(I'm coming in on my own...)

Whoa, I'm standing here I'm all alone

The feeling inside my soul...
I'm standing here on my own...
