Words & Music by John H.F. Porter
SITTING ALONE IN THE DARK
VERSE 1:
G
SITTING ALONE IN THE DARK,
D
HOLDING THE ONLY SPARK,
Am G
OF WHAT USED TO BE A FIRE.
VERSE 2:
G
MEMORIES OF HOW IT ONCE WAS,
D
WE CHOSE AN EMPTY CAUSE,
Am
NEVER THINKING OF TOMORROW.
CHORUS 1 :
F G
PITY THAT THIS PHOTOGRAPH CAN’T TURN THE FLOW OF TIME,
F G D
WISH THAT I COULD STEP INSIDE AND HOLD WHAT ONCE WAS MINE.
VERSE 3:
G
WE SAID THE EMBERS WENT OUT,
D
BUT THAT STILL LEAVES THE DOUBT,
Am
WHERE DOES LOVE GO WHEN IT’S OVER.
CHORUS 2 :
C Am G
HOW COULD A LOVE LIKE OURS JUST FADE AND DIE,
C Am G D
WAS IT THAT WE DIDN’T TRY OR DID WE TRY, YEAH DID WE TRY.
