[Intro]
C G Am Em Am Em F G C
[Verse 1]
C G Am Em
I think she considers me an acquired taste with a short shelf life
Am Em F G C
like an aging prodigy desperate for a discovery
C G Am Em
So I’m looking through my old notebooks trying to find a feeling
Am Em F G C
I recall to be appealing early in my life
[Chorus]
F G C
When they told me about salvation (na na na)
F G C
I told them they were wrong (na na na)
F G C
but as I stand here shaking
F G C
oh I pray I’m not alone
[Verse 2]
C G Am Em
I know what I’m about to say makes me sound like such a jerk,
Am Em F G C
and I knew what she was thinking so I walked out of the door.
C G Am Em
Now I’m thumbing through my contact list, trying to find a friend to call
Am Em F G C
I dial Matt Agrella and it goes straight to voice mail
[Pre-Chorus]
F G C
So I drove down to the Naples Pier
F G C
and I walked out to the end
F G C
I took a picture I’ve taken a thousand times
F G C
and drove back home again
[Chorus]
F G C
When they told me about salvation (na na na)
F G C
I told them they were wrong (na na na)
F G C
but as I stand here shaking
F G C
oh I pray I’m not alone
F G C
yes I pray I’m not alone
[Middle 8]
F C G C
She asked me once again if I’m losing my interest
F C G C
I think perhaps that question is for you my dear
F G C G C
Cuz I love you more than I ever have and I don’t want to believe
F G C F G C
that one of us is drifting and this time it isn’t me
[Instrumental]
C G Am Em Am Em F G C
(on some acoustic versions Chris plays the chords from the chorus)
[Chorus]
F G C
When they told me about salvation (na na na)
F G C
I told them they were wrong (na na na)
F G C
but as I stand here shaking
F G C
oh I pray I’m not alone
[Chorus]
F G C
When they told me about salvation (na na na)
F G C
And I still think they were wrong (na na na)
F G C
but as I stand here shaking
F G C
oh I pray I’m not alone
F G C
yes I pray I’m not alone
