Verse 1:
  D                    C
I see what I do, first look at the phone
              D
Turn on your TV
          C
Unscrew a bottle of beer,
                            D
An orange square cellophane cheese
                           C
First I think of this, and then I turn to that
                   D
Maybe I just don't think
                      C
Might sing to this, I might sing to that
                D
If I could only sing


Chorus:
G               D
Now, as you can see
     G       F     C
This clearly isn't me
        Bb              D
I'm not alone, I'm just blue
C         Bb      D (final measure of Theme 1)
  I'm not alone


Verse 2:
There was a day when I was alone
A few sane days ago
There was a love I've been living with
That I lost on the way home
First I thought of this
And then I turn to that
And then I turn a little bit scared
Well, I feel a little bit easier
Knowing that you're here

(Chorus)

Return to the first theme while Schools plays the bass solo,
then back to the last vocal stanza simile to the first 3.

First I think of this
Then I turn to that
Then I turn a little scared
I feel a little easier now
Knowing that you're all here

(Chorus)
