You were alone
F
I saw you from that second story window
G
No sign of Jerome

He burned your would'ves right down to the cinders
F
So why'd you go?
C
The party's full of friends that you lost in the break up
G
Did you think he'd show?
C
and be impressed by a new dress and your sister's make-up?

You were alone
F
Canvassing to save your reputation
G
Sobbing to Simone
C
About how he up & left no explanation
F
And how you drove

Out to his place to pound the door and wake the neighbors
G
Til they yelled he ain't home
C
Now go and get some sleep, do us a favor

Hiding from the rain in the gazebo

Well if you need a ride home

and you can wear my coat
