Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
I was a midnight rider on a cloud of smoke
I could make a woman hang on every single stroke
I was an iron man, I had a master plan
But I was alone
I could hear you breathing, With a sigh of the wind
I remember how your body started trembling
Oh, what a night it's been, And for the state I'm in
I'm still alone
Bridge 1
And all the wonders made for the Earth
And all the hearts in all creation
Somehow I always end up alone (Always end up alone)
Always end up alone
Chorus
So I play, (Sha la) Ill wait (Ill wait)
'Cause you know that love takes time (Livin love between the lines)
We came, (Sha la) so far (so far)
Just the beat of a lonely heart
And it's mine
And I don't want to be alone
Verse
Well, since I got no message on your answer phone
Since you're busy every minute. I just stay at home
I make believe you care, I feel you everywhere
But I'm still alone
I'm on a wheel of fortune with a twist of fate
'Cause I know it isn't heaven, is it love or hate
Am I the subject of the pain, Am I the stranger in the rain
I am alone
Bridge 2
And if the glory there to behold
Maybe it's my imagination
Another story there to be told
oow
Chorus
So I play, (Sha la) I'll wait (At times)
And I pray it's not too late (Tears that you cry)
We came (Sha la) so far (so far)
Just the beat of a lonely heart
And it's mine (pause)
And I don't want to be alone
Bridge 3
And all the wonders made for the Earth
And all the hearts in all creation
Another story there to be told oow
Chorus
So I play, (Sha la) Ill wait (Ill wait)
And I pray it's not too late (Livin love between the lines)
We came (Sha la) so far (so far)
Just the beat of a lonely heart
And it's mine
And I don't want to be alone
Coda
throughout
Gone, but not out of sight
I'm caught in the rain and there's no one home
Gonna Face the heat of the night
The one that you love's got a heart that's made of stone
Shine and search for the light
And sooner or later you'll be cruising on your o-cean
And clean out of sight
I'm caught in the rain and there's no one home
