When I'm Alone chords by Carbon Leaf

Listen to song for strumming pattern and timing.

Capo 2


 G                       D
   I opened up the music box
                                  Em
I wish you would have changed the locks

To keep me from replaying
D
All the feelings I've been saving
 G                                D
   I did not keep them locked up inside
                            Em
I did not take my steps in stride
                                      D
Thought you were bluffing, trampled on you

Went from friends to nothing

 C    G          D
  Radio turns to gold
 C              G              D
  And paves the way to find my home
       C G  D
  When I'm alone
       C G D
  When I'm alone

G  Em F#m  G


G                    D
  Overeager and underway
                          Em
I risked it all, I had to say
                          D
What opened me up for the beating
                     G
But the heart is for bleeding
                       D
With scraps of songs I paste along
                       Em
The seams of my clumsy tongue
                                D
In hopes of creating the golden notes

That might bring you back to me


 C    G          D
  Radio turns to gold
 C              G              D
  And paves the way to find my home
       C G  D
  When I'm alone
       C G D
  When I'm alone

G  Em F#m C

G D Em D

G
  Like phantoms on the highway
D                             Em
After holiday, gritting their teeth
                                 D
Racing to find a place for their soul
                                     G
Or at least a place... that's less familiar
                        D
We offer up our heart before
                             Em
The heart's invited or asked for
                                  D
Oh no, here I go my friend, I'm repeating
                       G
But the heart is for bleeding...
                        D
And I've said all I can say
                        Em
I am retreating, on my way
                             D
Music box, play my song I'll sing along
                       C
To that bitterly sweet tone

  When I'm alone...
