[Intro]
E A E A E A

[Verse 1]
E                 F#m            A                  E
 He never said he loved her, and she never said she cared
E                  F#m                A                         E
 Now he's out on a ship somewhere and she's still running scared
F#m                     B              E                A
   She never thought to ask him and he never thought to say
            F#m                                 B
Now they're both out somewhere looking for, the love that got away

[Verse 2]
E                F#m          A                 E
 She changed her name to Venus, he got a job in Spain
        E              F#m   A                            E
And she lives alone in Dunbar, with a cat that has no name
F#m                   B             E              A
   Once he thought he saw her, in a Spanish cabaret
           F#m                           B
But it was just another stand-in for the love that got away

[Chorus]
         E  B          A   Amaj7
And it's no fun being alone
      E                 B                   A  Amaj7
She'd sell her soul for someone to call her own
          E             B                  A   G#m
He's been waiting for a reason to head for home
            A  E        A  E
'Cause it's no fun with no one
     A     B        E   A E A
It's no fun, being alone

[Verse 3]
E                 F#m            A                  E
 He never said he loved her, and she never said she cared
           E               F#m        A                          E
So they've lived alone and never known, the life they might have shared
F#m                     B              E                A
   She never thought to ask him and he never thought to say
           F#m                                B
Now they'd gladly trade their freedom for the love that got away

[Chorus]
         E  B          A   Amaj7
And it's no fun being alone
      E                 B                   A  Amaj7
She'd sell her soul for someone to call her own
          E             B                  A   G#m
He's been waiting for a reason to head for home
            A  E        A  E
'Cause it's no fun with no one
     A     B        E   A E A E A E
It's no fun, being alone
