I make be-lieve you care, I feel you ev'-ry-where
D
But I'm still a-lone | % |

I'm on a wheel of for-tune with a twist of fate

Am I the sub-ject of the pain?

Am I the stran-ger in the rain?

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...
