Tom: Em
G Bm
I'm buttoning my blouse
Em
You're walking down the stairs
G Bm
I would have let you out
Em Cm
But no one seems to care
G Bm
What a waste of water
Em
What a waste of sand
G Bm
To travel all the earth
Em Cm
And no one knows you're there?
[Pre-chorus]
G
We like to feel all tough
Bm
We like our fists in our gloves
Em
Where we can kick and punch
And they all have to take it
G
But when you shut your door
Bm
And finally alone
Em
You're crying for a touch
Cm
But no one wants to say it
[Chorus]
G Bm Em
Maybe I was wrong
G Bm Em Cm
Going out alone
[Verse 2]
G Bm
It's like a cat and mouse
Em
You win and then you don't
G Bm
You're filling the canteen
Em Cm
And steady running out (again)
G Bm
What a waste of water
Em
What a waste of air
G Bm
To reach the highest highs
Em Cm
And then you're low again?
G
We like to feel all tough
Bm
We like our fists in our gloves
Em
Where we can beat the living hell
Out of a stranger
G
But when you turn it off
Bm
And all the quiet starts
Em
You're gonna find that
Cm
You're the only one in danger
[Chorus]
G Bm Em
Maybe I was wrong
G Bm Em Cm
Going out alone
