When I'm Alone by Jay Foreman

capo 1st fret


E                Ab7            C#m
When I'm with my clubber friends

         F#m                           A2        B
I take reluctantly whatever drugs they put in my hand

    E                Ab7         C#m
And when I'm with my nerd friends

F#m                     A2         B
I laugh at references I don't understand




    E        Ab7     C#m
And when I'm with my football mates

  A2            F#m   
I sit there quietly and wait

             Bsus4              B
Until they're not talking about football




    Bm       G7
But when I'm alone

  Bm                       G7
I go into my kitchen and I eat it all out

Bm        G7
When I'm alone

  Bm                       G7
I sit at my computer and I fart my brains out




Em       C7
When I'm alone 

           Em              C7
I click on sites you won't believe

A7             
Why am I deleting my history?

B                  C         B A
Who am I trying to deceive?





And when I'm with my stoner friends
We go to munchie heaven and I eat all the jam
And when I see my ex-girlfriend
I tell her all about how happy I am

And when I'm with my political mates
I sit there quietly and wait
Until they're not talking about football.

But when I'm alone
I curl up on the floor and I pretend I'm dying
When I'm alone
I masturbate at my own reflection crying

When I'm alone
I see how drunk I can get
I look my ex up on the internet

La la la la la la…

And then I make myself sick
To make the voices go away
And then I eat up the sick
To make the voices all come back

And when I'm alone
I get confused and upset
I look myself up on the internet.
