By:   Heart

[intro:]  Bbm  Gb  Ab  Ab/Gb   Bbm  Gb  Ab  F7  {piano}

[verse: 1] 
Bbm          Gb            Ab         Gb/Ab         Bbm              Gb Ab F7
I hear the ticking of the clock, I'm lying here the room's pitch dark
{bass kicks in}
Bbm        Gb            Ab          Ab/Gb          Bbm      Gb  Ab  F7
I wonder where you are tonight, no answer on your telephone
         Gb               Db/F  Ebm  Db/F
And the night goes by so very slow
      Gb                Db/F  Ebm  Ab
Oh I hope that it won't end so
   Db     Db 
Alone

[chorus:] {band kicks in}
Ebm      B       Gb             Db
   Till now, I always got by on my own
Ebm    B           Gb            Db
  (I never really cared until I met you)
   I never really cared until I met you
Ebm    B         Gb             Db
   And now it chills me to the bone
  Gb/Bb      B        Db
  (How do I get you alone)
   How do I get you alone
  Gb/Bb      B        Db   {let ring}   Db/C
  (How do I get you alone)
   How do I get you alone

[verse: 2] {piano + keys}
Bbm                 Gb          Ab      Ab/Gb
You don't know how long I have wanted 
                       Bbm      Gb    Ab  F7
to touch your lips and hold you tight
{bass kicks in}  
Bbm             Gb               Ab    Ab/Gb
(You don't know how long I have waited )
 You don't know how long I have waited
               Bbm       Gb    Ab   F7
(and I was gonna tell you tonight)
 and I was gonna tell you tonight
       Gb          Db/F    Ebm   Db/F
But the secret is still my own
       Gb          Db/F     Ebm    Ab
And my love for you is still unknown
     Db      Db  {big build up}
Alone

Ebm      B     Gb          Db
   Till now, I always got by on my own
Ebm    B           Gb            Db
 ( I never really cared until I met you )
   I never really cared until I met you
Ebm    B           Gb            Db
   And now it chills me to the bone
