Intro: Verse 

    D6     Dm6      F°  E7 A       Amaj7 
The party's over, the game is ended 
    Am7   C° D9        Bm5-/7   A     Amaj7 
The dreams I dreamed went up in smoke 
      D9   A#maj7    F°       Amaj7 
They didn't pan out     as intended  
F#7            B7    F°    A 
I should know how to take a joke 

Melody:
D6            F#m    B7   D6          F#m7       B7 
I'll go my way by myself; this is the end of romance. 
A7     A7/9 A7 D6/9 A D6     D9    Bm5-/7 F°  A  
I'll go my way  by  myself  love is only  a  dance. 
D6                 F#m   B7   D6        F#m7       B7 
Gray clouds in the sky above have put a blot on my fun 
A7      A7/9 A7  D6/9 A    D6  D9    Bm5-/7   F°  A  
I'll try to  fly high    above for a place in the sun 

 
F#m7 C°       G#7    Em7          G/B  Em7    F#7 
I'll face the unknown, I'll build a world of my own 
    D9           Dm   Dmmaj7 Dm6  A C#m5-/7 F#m 
For no one knows    better than I     myself 
    D9 Bm5-/7  E7/13 F° A 
I'm by      myself     alone 
D6                F#m    B7    D6            F#m7     B7 
I'll go  my  way  by myself  here's how the comedy ends 
A7       A7/9 A7  D6/9 A    D6   D9     Bm5-/7    F°   A  
I'll have to     deny    myself love and laughter and friends 
D6            F#m    B7   D6          F#m7         B7 
I'll try to apply myself and teach my heart how to sing 
A7     A7/9 A7 D6/9 A    D6  D9    Bm5-/7   F° A  
I'll go my way  by    myself like a bird on the wing 
F#m7 C°       G#7    Em7          G/B  Em7    F#7 
I'll face the unknown, I'll build a world of my own 
    D9           Dm   Dmmaj7 Dm6  A C#m5-/7 F#m 
For no one knows    better than I     myself 
    D9 Bm5-/7  E7/13 F° A 
I'm by      myself     alone
