I've Been Alone Too Long
Recorded by Charly McClain
Written by Cynthia Weil and Mark James
 
C               F
Funny how I can go on living
G7                  F        C
And lose the simple knack of giving
F             D7                 G7
It slips away before I know it's gone
C                  F
I build a wall and before I know it
G7                    F     C
Someone woos me and I wanna show it
  F                                G7
I just can't find a way of letting on
 
          F
I've been alone too long 
         C
Baby now don't you leave
          F
I've been alone too long
G7                C
That's all that's wrong with me
 
        F
I wanna build you a dream
C
Paint you a sunrise
E7                    Am
Write you a beautiful song
      Dm
But I don't know how
G7                  C
I've been alone too long
 
                F
Funny how I can cut off feeling
G7                    F          C
And tell the world my wounds are healing
F                D7            G7
All I've done is turn the pain inside
C                        F
And when I'm sure no one can get to me
G7                     F          C
There's a smile and it goes right through me
   F                                       G7
To wake up to something that I thought had died
 
Repeat #2,3

      Dm
But I don't know how 
G7                  C
I've been alone too long
     G7             C
I've been alone too long 
     G7             C
I've been alone too long
   F         G7             C
Oh baby I've been alone too long
