I’ll go on alone    (video)    (intro)

 

    A - A7 - D

 

                D                          D7                         G                   Em

1. We're travelin' down two different roads in worlds so far apart,

             A                                                          A7                       D

    you want me, yet there's somethin' else, before me in your heart.

                  D                    D7                         G                     Em

    You're wantin' me to change my life the way you're livin' yours,

         A                                                      A7                 D

    but I can't change, I see no way, you wanted me before.

 

         D                          D7                     G                     Em

2. If you don't want me like I am, then please don't pity me,

        A                                                  A7                     D

    if you can't change a little bit, then why not set me free.

        D                     D7                      G                  Em

    If we can't live together, then it's best we live apart,

            A                                                    A7                                D

    you go your way and I'll go mine, we'll both make brand new starts.

                   D                     D7                         G             Em

3. There's nothing we can do it seems, we'll never get along,

             A                                            A7                  D

    with you believin' like you do, you say I live so wrong.

          D                            D7                    G                       Em

    But I can't change my way of life, I've lived it much too long,

              A                                        A7             D

    you'll either take me like I am, or I'll go on alone.

 

            D                      D7                    G                         Em

4. So, either say you want my love, or take the way you live,

          A                                                             A7                 D

    remember, though, before you get, you've gotta learn to give.

           D                        D7                     G                  Em

    So, if it‘s change my life, or go, then go, it's gonna be,

               A                                                           A7                              D

    'cause I can’t change my life, when you want somethin' more than me.
