Harry Gardner - Not Alone

[intro] x3
G  G/F#

[verse 1]
          G   G/F#  G
Open your eyes
            G/F#    G    G/F#
and tell me what you see
Em      C              D
  am I among the forgotten?
Em                 C     D
  Please say you remember me

[verse 2]
G                G/F#                   G        G/F#
 In a room where light hides behind the curtains
G               G/F#                   G        G/F#
 In a bed where you're lost in a dream
Em             C                     D
 In a time the world is full of darkness
Em          C                 D
 In a house that doesn't suit quieter than these

[pre-chorus 1]
C                  D
 We know you're there
Em              D
 somewhere inside
C         D    Em                D
 I say a prayer for you to smile
C                D      G      G/F#  Em
 Looks like the angels owe me one today
      Am
But I stay strong, I know it won't be long
      C           D    Dsus4
Till I see the old days

[chorus]
G          D             Em
 Open your eyes and say hello
          D                  C
Open your mind and just let go
        C/B             Am
Tell me to get the remote
           D                   G
So we can watch your favourite show
               G/F#                Em
And ruffle my hair and say it's bad
                      D                   C
And tell me there's chocolate in your handbag
            C/B                 Am
And tell me just how much I've grown
           D
And let me know I'm not alone

G  G/F#

[verse 3]
              G     G/F#    G
It happens too fast
          G/F#     G      G/F#
I find it all so strange
Em       C                         D
 I never knew that this could happen
Em             C                   D
 I blinked once, and everything had changed

[verse 4]
G                     G/F#             G          G/F#
 I remember how you'd come around and see us
G                          G/F#              G        G/F#
 And you'd always have the same cup for your tea
Em       C                D       Dsus4
 Oh that cup sits on the shelf now
Em                  C   D
 Waiting for the day you come back to me oh

[pre-chorus 2]
C          D  Em                    D
 We understand good things don't last
C                 D       Em
 But I'd give anything just to hear you laugh
C                D      G     G/F#   Em
 Looks like the angels owe me one today
    Am                               Am7
But I stay strong I know it won't be long
       C             D
Till we see the old days

[chorus]
G          D             Em
 Open your eyes and say hello
          D                  C

[verse 5]
Am                      Em
 And I will never understand how a
               G           D
Precious memory can fade away
Am                        Em
 But I'm not worried about that 'cos I
                   G
Know you're in good hands
    D
And you are safe
