I was a mid-night rider on a cloud of smoke I could make a wo-man hang on ev'-ry sin-gle stroke Gsus2 Gadd2 I was an ir-on man, I had a mas-ter plan D But I was a-lone | % | D I could hear you breath-ing with a sigh of the wind I remember how your body started trembling Gsus2 Gadd2 Oh, what a night it's been for the state I'm in D I'm still alone Bm Em7 Bridge: And all the won-ders made for the earth A Bm And all the hearts in all cre-a-tion G D Some-how I al-ways end up a-lone (al-ways end up a-lone) Al-ways end up a-lone D Bm Chorus: So I'll play, I'll wait Em7 'Cause you know that love takes time D Bm We came so far Em7 Just the beat of a lone-ly heart F#m Gadd2 And it's mine... | 𝄑 | D And I don't wan-na be a-lone | % | % | % | D 2. Well, since I got no mes-sage on your ans-wer phone Since you're bu-sy ev'-ry min-ute, I just stay at home Gsus2 Gadd2 I make be-lieve you care, I feel you ev'-ry-where D But I'm still a-lone | % | D I'm on a wheel of for-tune with a twist of fate 'Cause I know it isn't hea-ven, is it love or hate? Gsus2 Am I the sub-ject of the pain? Gadd2 Am I the stran-ger in the rain? D I am a-lone | % | Bm Em7 Bridge: And is there glo-ry there to be-hold? A Bm May-be it's my im-a-gi-na-tion Em7 A A-noth-er sto-ry there to be told D Bm Chorus: So I'll play, I'll wait Em7 And I pray it's not too late D Bm We made it so far Em7 Just the beat of a lone-ly heart F#m Gadd2 And it's mine... | 𝄑 | | D And I don't wan-na be a-lone | % | % | % | Bm Em7 Bridge: And all the won-ders made for the earth A Bm And all the hearts in all cre-a-tion Em7 A A-noth-er sto-ry there to be told D Bm Chorus: So I'll play, I'll wait Em7 And I pray it's not too late D Bm We made it so far Em7 Just the beat of a lone-ly heart F#m Gadd2 And it's mine... | 𝄑 | D And I don't wan-na be a-lone.... D Outro: Gone but not out of sight I'm caught in the rain and there's no one home Face the heat of the night The one that you love got a heart that's made of stone Shine and search for the light And sooner or later you'll be cruising on your ocean And clean out of site I'm caught in the rain and there's no one home...
