ALL ALONE
(STEVE DAFOE 2006)
(COPYRIGHTED)


CHORUS 1 : (HER)


Fmaj7 >> Fmaj7(2nd) >> Fmaj7(3rd) >> Fmaj7(2nd) >> Fmaj7
AND IN THE COLD OF HER NITE
AND AS SHE WAKES WITH A START
AS HER DREAM FALLS APART
HER REALITY NOW REAL AND....
ONCE AGAIN.....

Gmaj7 Amaj7
SHE'S ALL ALONE
Gmaj7 Amaj7
SHE'S ALL ALONE



CHORUS 2 : (HIM)


Fmaj7 >> Fmaj7(2nd) >> Fmaj7(3rd) >> Fmaj7(2nd) >> Fmaj7
AND IN THE HEAT OF HIS NITE
AS THE GROUND TREMBLES WITH FEAR
AND HE WAKES FOR ANOTHER FIGHT
HEIS REALITY NOW REAL AND....
ONCE AGAIN.....

Gmaj7 Amaj7
HE'S ALL ALONE
Gmaj7 Amaj7
HE'S ALL ALONE



CHORUS 3:

Fmaj7 >> Fmaj7(2nd) >> Fmaj7(3rd) >> Fmaj7(2nd) >> Fmaj7
AND IN THE COLD OF THEIR NITE'S
AND AS THEY WAKE WITH A START
AS THEIR DREAM'S FALL APART
THEIR HER REALITY NOW REAL AND....
ONCE AGAIN.....

Gmaj7 Amaj7
THEY'RE ALL ALONE
Gmaj7 Amaj7
THEY'RE ALL ALONE
Gmaj7 Amaj7
THEY'RE ALL ALONE



VERSE 1:

EM Amaj7 (OR REVERSE)
THEY THINK OF EACH OTHER IN OTHER PLACES
SHE COUNTS THE DAYS 'TILL HE COMES HOME
HE'S STUCK IN A WAR OF WIDE OPEN SPACES
CONNECTED BY LOVE BUT APART BECAUSE OF HATE
AS SHE DRIFTS AWAY TO HER DREMWORLD
SHE IMAGINES HIM HOLDING HER TIGHT...............TO: CHORUS 1


VERSE 2:

EM Amaj7 (OR REVERSE)
HE SEES THE FLASH FROM MUFFLED SOUNDS
STUCK IN HIS FOXHOLE FROM HELL
HE CLOSES HIS EYES TO BRING HER BACK TO HIM..
AS DISTANT BOMBS CONTINUE TO POUND
HE REMEMBERS HER BEAUTY AND SMELL...
AND AS HE DRIFTS TO A WORLD IN HIS HEAD
HE PRETENDS HE'S HOLDING HER TIGHT...BUT..........TO:CHORUS 2

VERSE 3:

AND IN THEIR OWN DREAMS ...
THEY MAKE PROMISES THEY CAN'T KEEP
THEY KNOW THE LONLINESS OF WAR....
THEY FIGHT FOR A CAUSE AND FOR THEIR LOVE
THERE'LL ALWAYS BE A WAR IN STORE .....
BUT IN THE DEEP OF THEIR SLEEP
THEY'LL ALWAYS BE TOGETHER....UNTIL.........TO: CHORUS 3

That acoustic is so 90s alternative. Makes me feel young again haha. So good! Quality of the recording is amazing too.

Lyrics are great, universally relatable but personal. Gives me Shinedown vibes.

Vocals are on point! Country, Rock, Pop. Great voice!

I forgot to notice there wasn't much else but you and your guitar -- that's a very good sign.

For a minimalist guitar/vocal demo, this is a cool song.

A solid guitar vocal story song that invites the listener to listen to the lyrics and step into the story rather than wait for hooks and musical passages.
good vocals high quality sound quality nice performance and story

This is a very nice song. Clear lyrics that say something and a nice melody. Good vocals too.

i liked this the moment it started. good lyric on what is mainly a folk story song. liked the vocals and the strummy guitar and the theme of the song . good songwriting and perforamance

Great vocal & instrumentation (guitar work)Good hook & good presentation.

Great vocals - very strong and powerful, emotional and meaningful.
