                        Tabbed by: Mark Peters

This song is a pretty much forgotten song within the band itself, i believe. I doubt
ever play it, and on the basis of youtube i don't think they've ever played it live and had
recorded.

Anyway! I like the song regardless.. Like 'Angels' another song i like, it's pretty
forward....Maybe they got scared people would judge them for their simplicity in early
so have left it in the past, who knows!?

(note. I snapped my e string like 5 mins ago, so that's why i'm doing chords. A tab is
there's a little bit of picking at the start, but it's easy to figure out.. just pick the
note of the chord shape first and then play around with the e and B strings..)It 
sounds a bit better with no e string! haha

Few basic chords. (Named with simplicity at heart)

Tuning: Standard, Capo 2

      D    A    G    C

e|----0----0----0----0-----------------------------------------------------------|
B|----3----3----3----3-----------------------------------------------------------|
G|----2----0----0----0-----------------------------------------------------------|
D|----0----2----0----2-----------------------------------------------------------|
A|----X----x----2----3-----------------------------------------------------------|
E|----X----x----3----0-----------------------------------------------------------|

Verse 1:

D                    A
look at them running off the sidewalk,
G                    D
look at us falling off a building,
D                    A
look at them reading lights,
G           D
look at me, look at you,

D               A               G       D
could everybody standing around us,
D               A
could everybody drown us here
     G                           D
just looking through the looking glass

Chorus:

D   A      G   A      D   A
  A
not alone, not alone, not alone, not alone here....etc


(Carries on with the same chord patterns through the verse)

look at the sidewalk cracking under,
the under side is black,
look at us broken, bricks are falling,
the shades of grey
look at the shallow, the shallow water, that comes on me
walk to the water, walk to the water,
shed through the looking glass

not alone, not alone, not alone, not alone here....etc

           C      D        C        D (repeated)
Interlude: na na na ner na na na ...


D   A      G   A      D   A
  A
not alone, not alone, not alone, not alone here....etc


The End

PS- as for the 'Charlie' Song that's at the very end of the track.. well it's not too
to figure out, but with no e string, it makes it a little challenging!
