ALONE


    D     Gmaj9    D


             D
    I was a midnight rider on a cloud of smoke,
       D
    I could make a woman hang on every single stroke,
      Gmaj7
    I was an iron man,

    I had a master plan,
          D             
    but I   was alone.


             D
    I could hear you breathing with a sigh of the wind,
         D
    I remember how your body started trembling.
        Gmaj7
    Oh, what a night it's been

    and for the state I'm in
        D             
    I'm  still alone.

    

                Bm7                        Em7
    And all the wonders made for the Earth,
                       A             Bm
    and all the hearts    in all cre a tion,
  G            D                  
    somehow I always end up alone,
                         
    always end up alone.


    
              D
    So I play,
              Bm7
    I'll wait
                   Em7
    'cause you know   that love takes time.
            D       Bm7
    We came  so far,
                 Em7
    just the beat  of a lonely heart.
                  F#m7    Gmaj9
    And it's mine,
                         D
    I don't want to be alone.

    

           D
    Well, since I got no message on the answer phone,
         D
    and since you're busy every minute, I just stay at home,
              Gmaj7
    I make believe you care,

    I feel you everywhere,
            D           
    but I'm still alone.


    
       D
    I'm on a wheel of fortune with a twist of fate
           D
    'cause I know it isn't heaven, is it love or hate.
        Gmaj7
    Am I the subject of the pain.

    Am I the stranger in the rain.
    D           
    I am alone.

    

                  Bm7                 Em7
    And is there glory there to behold,
               A       Bm
    maybe it's my imagination.
            Em7                    A
    Another story there to be told.


    
              D          Bm7
    So I play, I'll wait,
              Em7
    and I pray   it's not too late.
                    D       Bm7
    You know we came so far,
                 Em7
    just the beat   of a lonely heart,
                  F#m7   Gmaj9
    and it's mine,
                            D
    and I don't want to be alone.


    
                Bm7                        Em7
    And all the wonders made for the Earth,
                       A             Bm
    and all the hearts    in all cre a tion,
             Em7                   A
    another story there to be told.

    

              D          Bm7
    So I play, I'll wait,
              Em7
    and I pray  it's not too late.
           D       Bm7
    We came so far,
                 Em7
    just the beat   of a lonely heart,
                   F#m7  Gmaj9
    and it's mine,
                             D
    and I don't want to be alone.


    

    Gone, but not out of sight.
               Dmaj7                     D
    I'm caught in the rain and there's no one home.

    Face the heat of the night,
               Dmaj7                 D
    the one that you love's got a heart that's made of stone.


    

    Shine and search for the light
              Dmaj7                D
    and sooner or later you'll be cruising on your ocean

    (and I don't want to be alone).

    Shine and clean out of sight
            Dmaj7                        D
    I'm caught in the rain and there's no one home

    (and I don't want to be alone).

    Face the heat of the night,
                Dmaj7               D
    the one that you love's got a heart that's made of stone

    (and I don't want to be alone)...
