You Were Alone

You were alone
                                 F
I saw you from that second story window
           G
No sign of Jerome
                                           C
He burned your would'ves right down to the cinders
             F
So why'd you go?
                                                 C
The party's full of friends that you lost in the break up
                   G
Did you think he'd show?
                                                  C
and be impressed by a new dress and your sister's make-up?

You were alone
                            F
Canvassing to save your reputation
             G
Sobbing to Simone
                               C
About how he up & left no explanation
            F
And how you drove
                                                C
Out to his place to pound the door and wake the neighbors
                         G
Til they yelled he ain't home
                                   C
Now go and get some sleep, do us a favor

You were alone
                              F
Hiding from the rain in the gazebo
                G
Shivered to the bone
                           C
and hoping for a taxi to retrieve you
                   F
Well if you need a ride home
                    C
I'm on my way up to Orinda
                    G       C
and you can wear my coat
