WAKING UP ALONE (Paul Williams)
D F#m
I took my chances on a one way ticket home
Em Gm
Growing tired of strangers and the kind of life I'd known
D F#m A
Thought the time for settling down had come at last
D F#m A
Guess I hoped to find my future in the past
D F#m
Walk me with me darling where the wheat fields used to be
Em Gm
I will tell you stories of my times across the sea
D F#m A
You're the legenday girl I left behind
D F#m A
Can't begin to count the times you crossed my mind
B Ebm G#
And oh your children well the youngest looks just like you
Em
She's a picture of her mother
Gm
And there'll never be another
D F#m
Quite like you
G A D F#m Em
You're an angel and a time that I don't know any more
A D F#m
So good night I'll take my memories to bed
Em A D F#m D
You know that be waking up alone
I should have noticed that the years were slipping by
Still you're just as lovely as the day we said goodbye
Like an old familiar poem that just won't rhymn
I could get back to ther place but not the time
and oh your children well the youngest looks just like you
She's the picture of her mother
and there'll never be another quite like you
You're an angel and a time that I don't know anymore
And so goodnight
I'll take my memories to bed
And know that I'll be waking up alone
