[Intro]
A5 E5

[Verse 1]
A C#m
“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

[Pre-Chorus]
C#m A
And so we’re running just as fast as we can
C#m A
Holding on to one another’s hand
G
Trying to get away into the night
E
And then you put your arms around me
A
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

[Verse 2]
A C#m
Look at the way
F#m E
We gotta hide what we’re doing
A C#m
‘Cause what would they say
F#m E
If they ever knew?

[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

[Outro]
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
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
There doesn’t seem to be anyone around

How to play I Think Were Alone Now: key, chords and progression

This is the chords of I Think Were Alone Now by Billie Joe Armstrong on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.

I Think Were Alone Now by Billie Joe Armstrong is written in A major (three sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯) and moves through 8 chords: A5, E5, A, C#m, F#m, E, G and D.

The backbone of the song is A – E – D – A (I – V – IV – I in A major). In solfa, that is doh – soh – fah – doh. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Good to know: on guitar, C#m and F#m need a barre or movable shape. Take the change into them slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
