YOU ARE NOT ALONE

                    G                    e
1. Another day has gone, I'm still all alone,
                    C                        D
    how could this be, you're not here with me.
                        G                    e
    You never said goodbye, someone tell me why,
                     C                         D
    did you have to go, and leave my world so cold?

          h             e                a
    Everyday I sit and ask myself : How did love slip away ?
      C                 a             D
    Something whispers in my ear and says that...

              G                        e
You are not alone, for I am here with you.
                    a                  D
though you're far away, I am here to stay.
                  G                        e
But you are not alone, for I am here with you,
                   a                         D
though we're far apart, you're always in my heart,
                  G         - C - D
but you are not alone. 
   
                   G                           e
2. Just the other night I thought I heard you cry,
                  C                        D
    asking me to come, and hold you in my arms.
                      G                           e
    I can hear your prayers, your burdens I will bear, 
                           C                        D
    but first I need your hand, then forever can begin.
          h             e                a
    Everyday I sit and ask myself : How did love slip away ?
     C                  a             D
    Something whispers in my ear and says that...

How to practise this song

1
Put your capo on fret 4
Clamp the capo on before you start — otherwise the shapes won't sound like the original.
2
Practise the barre chord Bm
Bm is a barre chord. Lay your index finger flat across all strings and press firmly; practise it on its own until every string rings clearly before you use it in the song.
Open
3
Practise the change: Bm ↔ C
Play each chord for 4 beats, then 2, then 1 — with the metronome at 60-70 bpm. Only push the tempo once the change is clean and on time.

Great first song
Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.
