INTRO: C  G  Am  Em  F    C  G

N.C.    C
I could stop right here
         G
Turn this car around
     C                 Em
Walk back through the door
         F       G
Put my suitcase down
F
Tell you I'm sorry
    C                         G
And things would be alright, I know


       C                     G
But it all comes down to the lesser of two
 Am                  Em
Alone by myself or alone with you
         F
And if I have to be lonely
    G                 C
I'd rather be lonely alone


CHORUS:
           F                G
I'd rather miss someone out on this highway
     C              Dm7         F
Than someone who's sitting just three feet away
                                G
And I'd rather be fighting some old memories
        Dm7           F      G 
Than to wonder if you ever really loved me


        C                    G
I could keep going on like I have all along
Am                            Em
Telling myself that there's nothing wrong
         F
But if I have to be lonely
    G                 Eb
I'd rather be lonely alone

CHORUS:
               F                G
Oh, I'd rather miss someone out on this highway
     C              Dm7         F     N.C.
Than someone who's sitting just three feet away
    C   F                       G
And I'd rather be fighting some old memories
        Dm7           F      G 
Than to wonder if you ever really loved me


        C                          G
I don't know what I'll do, I don't know where I'll go
          Am                       Em
There's a lot I'm not sure of, but one thing I know
     F
If I have to be lonely
    G                 C  Em  Am  Em
I'd rather be lonely alone_____
         F
Oh, if I have to be lonely
    G                 Eb  Cm  Dm7  F  G    C
I'd rather be lonely alone______________
