What It Means To Be Alone Chords

   
I saw that there was only one chord entry for this song! Decided to post how I play it, 
for anyone else trying to learn this song.
It's played with a capo on the 1st fret :)
Play around with the base line whenever there is a G major chord.
Happy learning :) hope this works for you.

E
Oh,
F#m
You were born with the sun
E
And oh,
F#m
You will die with the moon


E                                      F#m
And everything you thought you had you lost
E                                         F#m
But now you'd never lose what you don't have


A             B
Prayers from above
E                G#5   A5
Never answered quite enough
 F#m                A5       E
Now the only one you have is you


E           F#m
With this cruel bitter heart
             E
You were cold and in love
            G
Left her naked in the sun

E                     F#m
Run scared from this cruel bitter world
          E
This has only begun
        G
As the bombs are bursting off

Am
Smoke arose
Em
On azimuth glares
Am
Bodies brewed
    Em            D
In frigid winter air
       Am
Where family's sons
    Em     Em7           C7
Are robbed beneath their feet
    C
And hearts concede


Am            Em
"Ab ovo" The angel sings
Am            Em           D
"Ad astra"our eyes to the sea

Am
And we thought that we had
    Em      Em7    C7
A cause for suffering
       C             F#
And reason enough to die alone
Oh but,



E
You,
F#m
With this cruel bitter heart
E
You were cold and in love
G
Left her naked in the sun

E                    F#m
Run scared from this cruel bitter world
         E
This has only begun
         G
As the bombs are bursting off



Am
With our feet beneath us
Em
With our hands to the sky
C
We extend our limbs
        F#
Begging "Why, oh why?"
             Am Em Em7 C G
Don't turn awaaaaaaaaaaay


[If you repeat that (Am Em Em7 C G) progression, you should be good for the instrumental 
bridge. You're going to have to listen for yourself where the chord changes are though]
