ALO are a great band and this is a great song from their album Roses & Clover
A lot of the chords are done on piano and synth with a few chords on electric guitar.
I would strongly recommend their albums.
Intro:
Verse 1:
Standing on the stage struggling to get his instrument in tune
People throwing vegetables and calling him a fraud as they fall out of the room
He awakes at night with the fear
That this all might just disappear
But it scares him just the same
To think that this could all remain
Chorus:
Understanding why we do what we do
Why we put ourselves what we put ourselves through
When there s no longer comfort in your comfort zone
You feel like you re all alone
Self-absorption, never ending
Steals the truth, it keeps on bending
Feel like I m pretending to be something that I m not
I ve got to smooth it like Al Green
Be Funky like JB
Then stand up on my own two feet and learn how to be me
I m contradicting myself
I m stealing from the past
I m trying to slow it down because it feels like it s too fast
And I m awaking with the fear
That this all might disappear
But it scares me just the same to think that this
Could all remain
(Chorus)
Bridge: (Synth Chords)
Like you re all alone
All alone
All alone
(solo)
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
