Out Here On My Own

Words & Music:

Michael & Lesley Gore

 

Am7                Bm7        Bm

Sometimes I wonder where I've been.

CM7       G

Who I am, do I fit in?

Am7           G              C              D

Make believing is hard alone out here on my own.

 

We're always proving who we are.

Always reaching for that rising star.

To guide me far and shine me home out here on my own.

 

CHORUS:

CM7               B7sus4  B7    Em                       Em/F#  G  A7

When I'm down and feeling blue, I close my eyes so I can be with you.

    F#m     Bm7            F#m    Bm

Oh, baby be strong for me, baby belong to me.

C       CM7      F#sus4  F#

Help me through, help me need you

 

Until the morning sun appears.

Making light of all my fears.

I dry the tears I've never shown out here on my own.

 

CHORUS:

 

Am7                Bm7        Bm

Sometimes I wonder where I've been.

CM7       G

Who I am, do I fit in?

C         D        G          D

I may not win, but I can't be thrown

Am7            G

Out here on my own.  [2x]
