F/G F
[Verse 1]
F/G F
If I have to be alone
F/G F
Then I should make my mind serene
F/G F
After all you're born alone, you die alone
F/G F
You might as well spend every moment in between alone
F/G F
But if I have to be alone
F/G F
Then it will be on my own terms
F/G F
I can never talk about it, ever show it
F/G F
Even though the world is watching while I squirm alone
[Pre-Chorus 1]
A G
And your bleeding heart friends say, "isn't it sad? "
B5
Then they all go make love
G A
While you go insane. insane!
B5 B5/G
It drives you mad! mad!
[Chorus 1]
B5 A G G/F# Em A
My mind, I love my mind
G
And if no one can feel the same
G/A G
I'm a computer with a name
G/F F
And I've got no one else to blame
F/G F
If I have to be alone
[Verse 2]
F
And if nobody understands
F/G F
That special creature that is me
F/G F
And if they fail to see the me I see
F/G F
Then no one else knows truly what it means to be alone
[Pre-Chorus 2]
A G
Maybe once a lifetime you lose your will
B5
Then you can let down your guard
G A
But they cower in fear. in fear
B5 B5/G
It makes you ill! Ill!
[Chorus 2]
B5 A G G/F# Em A
My heart, my burning heart
G
And if no one will quench the flame
G/A G
I'm not obliged to do the same
G/A G/F
And then they'll have to share the blame
F/G F
Because I have to be alone
F/G F
Because I have to be alone
F/G F
But I don't want to be alone
