NOTES: This is my own acoustic version of the song.
Some of the chords are standard, others are power chords.
If you play along with song, you'll easily figure out the
proper voicing for each chord.
The INTRO progression can be replaced with Bm, B(alternating)*, Dsus2
*For the Bm, B(addE)(alternating) chord progression, you basically
just play a Bm barre chord with the 1st string open and then
alternate between the Bm and B(addE) by placing the 2nd finger
on and off the D note on the 2nd string. The 2nd string is played
open when the 2nd finger is lifted. Listen to the song to determine
the rhythm.
CHORUS 1, INTERLUDE and CHORUS 2 are played palm-muted.
INTRO – Part 1: B, C#, D, E, D x2
Part 2: B, C#, D, E, F#, G, F#, E x2
Bm, B(addE)(alternating)* Dsus2
VERSE 1- Just in case, I will leave my things packed, so I can run away
Bm, B(alternating)* Dsus2
I cannot trust these voices
B(addE) Asus2
I don't have a line of prospects that can give some kind of peace
B(addE) Asus2
There is nothing left to cling to that can bring me sweet release
G Dsus2 A/C#
I have no fear of drowning, it's the breathing
B(addE)
That's taking all this work
G A B A/C# G
CHORUS 1 - Do you know what I mean, when I say, I don't want to be alone
A B A/C# INTRO Part 2
What I mean, when I say, I don't want to be alone
VERSE 2 - Empty spaces with shadows hit by streetlights
Warning signs and weight of tired conversations
In the absence of a shoulder, in the abscess of a thief
On the brink of this destruction, on the eve of bittersweet
Now all the demons look like prophets and I'm living out
B(addE) Asus2 B(addE) Asus4
Every word they speak, every word they speak
INTERLUDE – G, A, B
CHORUS 2 - Do you know what I mean, when I say, I don't want to be alone
What I mean, when I say, I don't want to be alone
What I mean, when I say, I don't want to be alone
SOLO - (I haven't transcribed this because I don't think it fits in
well acoustically. There is "Work" tab here that has the solo. You
can refer to that, figure it out on your or play whatever chord
progression you please.)
CHORUS 3 - Do you know what I mean, when I say, I don't want to be alone
What I mean, when I say, I don't want to be alone
What I mean, when I say, I don't want to be alone
Alone, alone, I don't want to be alone
G Dsus2 A/C#
I have no fear of drowning, it's the breathing
B(addE)
That's taking all this work
