Lyrics

(Woo, hoo.)

It comes a (Cm)call ing in the eve ning

when the (Eb)tem per ’ture is drop ping out.

They said it (Ab)don’t get cold here,

but I beg to dif fer now.

There is (Cm)some thing in the shad ows

than sis ter sil hou (A)ette,

some thing (Ab)sin is ter and strange

that I have n’t seen yet.

And I don’t want to be

a lone.

Sky, don’t let the sun go.

I’m not read y for the dark ness; swear up on a heart less soul.

And I don’t want to cry

when you go.

Stay a lit tle long er.

You know, you’re mak ing me (Eb)feel

I’m not a lone.

Ooh.

You don’t have to fight the bad guys,

throw ing (Eb)punch es out in to the black.

If you have to tell me lies, I don’t care;

just give me some good

back.

I don’t want to be

I’m not a lone.

(Woo, hoo.)

And if I on ly wor ry ’bout it, wor ry ’bout it, wor ry ’bout it, I just keep break ing down, break ing down, break ing down.

Boy, I can do with out, do with out, do with out a night of the bad dreams,

sad

things.

Tell me what that means.

I don’t want to be

a lone.

Sky, don’t let the sun go.

I’m not read y for the dark ness; swear up on a heart less soul.

And I don’t want to cry

when you go.

Stay a lit tle long er.

You know, you’re mak ing me (Eb)feel

the mon sters aren’t (Cm)real.

You’re mak ing me (Eb)feel

I’m not a lone.

(Woo, hoo.)

I’m not a lone.

Ooh.

(Woo, hoo.)
