What It Means To Be Alone Chords
I saw that there was only one chord entry for this song! Decided to post how I play it,
for anyone else trying to learn this song.
It's played with a capo on the 1st fret :)
Play around with the base line whenever there is a G major chord.
Happy learning :) hope this works for you.
E
Oh,
F#m
You were born with the sun
E
And oh,
F#m
You will die with the moon
E F#m
And everything you thought you had you lost
E F#m
But now you'd never lose what you don't have
A B
Prayers from above
E G#5 A5
Never answered quite enough
F#m A5 E
Now the only one you have is you
E F#m
With this cruel bitter heart
E
You were cold and in love
G
Left her naked in the sun
E F#m
Run scared from this cruel bitter world
E
This has only begun
G
As the bombs are bursting off

Am
Smoke arose
Em
On azimuth glares
Am
Bodies brewed
Em D
In frigid winter air
Am
Where family's sons
Em Em7 C7
Are robbed beneath their feet
C
And hearts concede
Am Em
"Ab ovo" The angel sings
Am Em D
"Ad astra"our eyes to the sea
Am
And we thought that we had
Em Em7 C7
A cause for suffering
C F#
And reason enough to die alone
Oh but,
E
You,
F#m
With this cruel bitter heart
E
You were cold and in love
G
Left her naked in the sun
E F#m
Run scared from this cruel bitter world
E
This has only begun
G
As the bombs are bursting off
Am
With our feet beneath us
Em
With our hands to the sky
C
We extend our limbs
F#
Begging "Why, oh why?"
Am Em Em7 C G
Don't turn awaaaaaaaaaaay
[If you repeat that (Am Em Em7 C G) progression, you should be good for the instrumental
bridge. You're going to have to listen for yourself where the chord changes are though]
