4x
there was a time i sat by myself
alone like a tree thinking of the day
and who it might be and where i might find you
alone just like me
when i'm alone i think of you
and where you might be alone just like me
4x
one day i smile the next day i'm sad
thoughts come and go like a grain of sand
i look to the sky and sometimes it rains
thinking of you well it's not the same
when i'm alone i think of you
and where you might be alone just like me
4x
now that you're here you're right by my side
me and my tree we still find the time
to walk through the clouds and look for the rain
but in know i can't find them cause i'm not the same
when i'm alone i think of you
and where you might be alone by a tree
Notes:
listen to the song for the struming pattern, or play it however you want.
on the chorus, they let that G ring out, then pick back up with the C (again, listen if you want)
on the third verse, they don't really play the chords, they either hit the guitar or use a drum.
that being said, if you do play the chords, where i've got the F* you could play an F or a G there
- F follows the pattern of the earlier verses, but i use the G because the melody steps down and
i think it sounds better. if you don't play the chords, make sure you come back in on the Am.
on the last C, they don't play this chord, but if they did it would be a C.
tried to find this for a while, finally found the song on itunes and typed it
out. email me with any questions.
