It Takes Too Long To Learn To Live Alone

	  		

Intro: Dm  G  C  A7 

Dm 
I leave the house  
G                         C 
I catch the bus and go to work  
                   A7 
The way I did before.  
Dm 
The same routine  
G 
Most everyday except I guess  
C                          C7 
I see my folks much more.  


F 
A year has passed  
Bm 
I thought by now that I could make  
Em                A7 
A new life of my own  
Dm              G  
But habits are so hard to break  
C                     A7 
I think of you  and I still ache  
Dm           G        C            A7                   
It takes too long to learn to live alone. 
  
Dm 
It's really bad 
G  
When Friday comes because I know  
C                  A7 
The weekend lies ahead  
Dm                    G 
The walks we took the football games  
C                                              C7 
And when it rained how late we stayed in bed.  


F                   Bm 
I've done so much to change the house  
Em                          A7 
The attic's full memories I've  known  
Dm                  G                        
And yet when I turn out the light  
C                  A7 
I wait for you to say goodnight  
Dm           G       C           A7                   
It takes too long to learn to live alone.  


Dm               G 
I go on dates but when I do  
C                             A7 
I always find before the night is through 
Dm                           G 
The same old thing behind my smile  
C                                               C7 
I'm sitting there comparing her/him  to you. 
  
F               
And in the end it's always you  
Bm 
I  feel it even more when I get home  
Em                A7 
I thought that I was free of you  
Dm                    G 
But I was wrong I never knew  
C                          A7        G   C  
It takes too long to learn to live alone. (Repeat)
