"I Think We're Alone Now"
(Ritchie Cordell)
[Notes: 1) The intro is notated in quarter-notes (one slash per beat) but
played in staccato eighth-notes; 2) When I heard 'em live, they simulated
the crickets chirping by scratching their chins on-mike!]
Intro:
A E D (A)

Verse 1:

Children behave
F#m E
That's what they say when we're together
A C#m
And watch how you play
F#m E
They don't understand and so we're
Pre-chorus:
C#m A [N.C.]
Runnin' just as fast as we can

C#m A [N.C.; repeat bass fill]
Holdin' on to one another's hand
G
Tryin' to get away into the night

And then you put your arms around me as we tumble to the ground

And then you say
Chorus:
A E
I think we're alone now
D A
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
A E
I think we're alone now
D A
The beating of our hearts is the only sound
(heartbeat and crickets)
Verse 2:
Look at the way
We gotta hide what we're doin'
'Cause what would they say
If they ever knew and so we're
[repeat pre-chorus]
[repeat chorus]
