These are the lyrics from the LP If there Was A Way. The performance that Dwight does for acoustic.net has a different last verse. On the acoustic.net album he performs it with a 5/6 time arppegio through most of the song. [D] I was just [G] standing Alone in this [Em] room. Surrounded my [G] memories We stopped making too [Em] soon. Oh, I was just [C] standing I was just [D] standing, Alone in this [Em] room, Alone in this [G] room. I was just thinking All to myself. How I still want you and nobody else. Oh, I was just thinking, I was just thinking, All to myself, All to myself, [C] In this darkness I move [G] slowly, [C] Always struggling to be [G] free. [Am] But I still hear your voice, [C] And everywhere I see you the choice That [Am] made such a [C] fool of [D7] me. I was just wondering, If there was a way. Bringing back to me Pretty things I could say. Oh I was just wondering, I was just wondering, If there was a way.
