Alone (capo 2nd)

 

C – F - C

 

                  C

1. I was a midnight rider on a cloud of smoke,

                 

    I could make a woman hang on every single stroke,

        F                                                              C

    I was an iron man, I had a master plan, but I was alone.

 

                  C

2. I could hear you breathing with a sigh of the wind,

 

    I remember how your body started tremblin',

            F                                                                     

    oh what a night it's been! And for the state I'm in,

     C

    I'm still alone.

 

                        Am                             Dm

    And all the wonders made for the Earth ,

                         G                Am

    And all the hearts in all creation,

                        C

    somehow I always end up alone, always end up alone.

 

             C         Am                     Dm                            F

    So I play, I'll wait 'cause you know that love takes time

            C            Am                 Dm                     F

    We came so close, just the beat of a lonely heart.

                  Em      F  ~                                   C      ~

    And it's mine,         and I don't wanna be alone.

 

                        C

3. Well since I got no message on your answer phone,

                                                                    

    since you're busy every minute, I just stay at home,

         F                                                                            C

    I make believe you care, I feel you everywhere, but I'm still alone.

 

                      C

4. I'm on a wheel of fortune with a twist of fate.

    

    'cause I know it isn't heaven, is it love or hate?

                    F

    am I the subject of the pain?  Am I the stranger in the rain?

   C

    I am alone.

 

                         Am                    Dm                      G           Am

    And is there glory there to behold? Maybe it's my imagination,

                   Dm                    G

    another story there to be told.

 

             C         Am           Dm                    F

    So I play, I'll wait and I pray it's not too late.

            C          Am              Dm                     F

    We came so far, just the beat of a lonely heart,

                  Em     F ~                                      C      ~

    and it's mine     -     and I don't wanna be alone.

 

                       Am                               Dm

    And all the wonders made for the Earth,

                         G                 Am                   Dm                      G

    and all the hearts in all creation, another story there to be told.

 

             C         Am           Dm                    F

    So I play, I'll wait and I pray it's not too late.

            C          Am              Dm                      F

    We came so far, just the beat of a lonely heart,

                 Em      F ~                                     C     ~ ~ ~

    and it's mine    -     and I don't wanna be alone.
