Biography:
Bernard Butler (born on 1 May 1970, in Stamford Hill, North London), is a musician and record producer. He first achieved fame in 1992 as the guitarist with Suede, at the time an instant phenomenon in UK pop music. He co-wrote and played on every track until 1994, when he left Suede over personal tensions within the band during the recording of their second album, Dog Man Star.
Butler formed the duo McAlmont & Butler with David McAlmont. They released two singles, Yes and You Do.

[Verse 1]
C Em
Should I tell you why I feel so down
F Am G
when all I've carried for days is the same old doubts
C Em
Well I'd tell you if I had a plan
F Am G
only you're one of those with your head in the sand
F Em
While I don't feel so afraid
F Em
maybe this is just some kind of phase
F G
but I don't care about the wind in my face
[Chorus 1]
C Em
cos I'm not alone these days
F G
no I'm not alone these days
C Em
I'm not alone these days
F G
no I'm not alone these days
[Verse 2]
C Em
Could I tell you how I hear those sounds
F Am G
well I've been roaming the streets with my head in the clouds
C Em
I won't need to show you my heart
F Am G
cos all I need in my hands is an electric guitar
F Em
Well I thought you understood
F Em
that friends like these won't ever do me no good
F G
as I have never known the people I should
[Chorus 2]
