Forgot directions on your way
Don't close your eyes don't be afraid
We might be crazy late at night
I can't wait til you arrive
Follow stars you'll be alright
You wanna give up 'cause it's dark
We're really not that far apart
So let your heart, sweet heart
Be your compass when you're lost

Never be alone oh oh oh
You wanna give up 'cause it's dark
We're really not that far apart (Hold the D chord a little longer this time)
So let your heart, sweet heart
Be your compass when you're lost
And you should follow it wherever it may go
When it's all said and done
You can walk instead of run
'Cause no matter what you'll never be alone (never be alone) oh oh oh
Never be alone oh oh oh
(Same chords here as when these lines are in the chorus, but held out and slower)
When it's all said and done
You can walk instead of run
'Cause no matter what you'll never be alone
