Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone
A          C#m B
  Just the one two of us who's counting on
C#m        E  B
That never happens I guess I'm dreaming again
A               B(hold) 
  Let's be more than this


Interlude: C#m--B (x2) G#/C

Verse 2:
   C#m                 E
If you want to play it like a game
      B                       C#m
Well, come on, come on, let's play
      C#m                 E
Cause I'd rather waste my life pretending
     B
Than have to forget you for one whole minute


(Repeat Refrain and Chorus 1)

Rock and roll, baby

Don't you know that we're all alone now?

I need something to sing about
C#m      E     B
Rock and roll, baby

Don't you know baby we're all alone now?
