This is one of my favorite songs, off one of my favorites albums,
by one of my absolute favorite artists.
These are the lyrics from the LP If there Was A Way. The performance
that
Dwight does for acoustic.net has a different last verse. On the
acoustic.net
album he performs it with a 5/6 time arppegio through most of the
song.
[D] I was just [G] standing
Alone in this [Em] room.
Surrounded my [G] memories
We stopped making too [Em] soon.
Oh, I was just [C] standing
I was just [D] standing,
Alone in this [Em] room,
Alone in this [G] room.
I was just thinking
All to myself.
How I still want you
and nobody else.
Oh, I was just thinking,
I was just thinking,
All to myself,
All to myself,
[C] In this darkness I move [G] slowly,
[C] Always struggling to be [G] free.
[Am] But I still hear your voice,
[C] And everywhere I see you the choice
That [Am] made such a [C] fool of [D7] me.
I was just wondering,
If there was a way.
Bringing back to me
Pretty things I could say.
Oh I was just wondering,
I was just wondering,
If there was a way.
