[Verse 1]
D                          A
I blew the dust out of the corners
G                           Bm
Threw some dead wood on the fire
D                  A
Tuned the radio to silence
G                          D
Watched the evening sun expire
Bm                             F#m
Should have called you up this morning
G                      Em
But I'm such a fool at times
D                         A
I still search my shaving mirror
C       G                  D
Looking for your face with mine


[Chorus]
           G                   A
     And I can't stay alone tonight
     G                        D
     Can't let another day go by
               Bm
     Why is it always this way?
     Em                         A
     Time never seems to really fly
         G                          A
     And time is never really on my side
           G                   F#m   Bm
     And I can't stay alone tonight
     Em                             A
     Things have to change and they might
           G            A      D
     But I can't stay alone tonight


[Verse 2]
D                       A
Chalk up one more crazy notion
G                   Bm
Imagination running wild
D                     A
But if I needed confirmation
G                            D
I would have gone that extra mile
Bm                            F#m
You're the last chance on the highway
G                        Em
I'm that open stretch of road
D                      A
You're the diner in my rear-view
C        G              D
A cup of coffee getting cold


[Chorus]
           G                   A
     And I can't stay alone tonight
     G                        D
     Can't let another day go by
               Bm
     Why is it always this way?
     Em                         A
     Time never seems to really fly
         G                          A
     And time is never really on my side
           G                   F#m   Bm
     And I can't stay alone tonight
     Em                             A
     Things have to change and they might
           G            A      D
     But I can't stay alone tonight


[Bridge]
Bb                          Dm
Bruised in this cold war of words
              C                    F
We've come undone two loose ends alone
    Bb                            Dm
Possessed by that curse you've endured
                 Gm                          Asus4  A
The spell that I cast couldn't make you come home


[Chorus]
           G                   A
     And I can't stay alone tonight
     G                        D
     Can't let another day go by
               Bm
     Why is it always this way?
     Em                         A
     Time never seems to really fly
         G                          A
     And time is never really on my side
           G                   F#m   Bm
     And I can't stay alone tonight
     Em                             A
     Things have to change and they might
           G            A      D
     But I can't stay alone tonight
      Em                             A
     Things have to change and they might
           G            A      D
     But I can't stay alone tonight
