[VERSE 1]
D
I was a midnight rider on a cloud of smoke
D
I could make a woman hang on every single stroke
G
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
G
Oh, what a night it's been, And for the state I'm in
D
I'm still alone


[BRIDGE 1]


Bm                              Em
And all the wonders made for the Earth
            A             Em
And all the hearts in all creation
        D
Somehow I always end up alone (Always end up alone)
Bm            G
Always end up alone


[CHORUS]


D                                 Bm
So I play, (Sha-la) I'll wait (I'll wait)
        Em
'Cause you know that love takes time (Livin love between the lines)
D                         Bm
We came, (Sha-la) so far (so far)
Em
Just the beat of a lonely heart
F#m    G
And it's mine
                       D      G     D
And I don't wanna be alone


[VERSE 2]


D
Well, since I got no message on your answer phone
D
Since you're busy every minute. I just stay at home
G
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
G
Am I the subject of the pain, Am I the stranger in the rain
D
I am alone


[BRIDGE 2]


Bm                           Em
And if the glory there to behold
           A       Bm
Maybe it's my imagination
        Em                A
Another story there to be told. oow


[CHORUS]


D                   Bm
So I play, (Sha-la)  I'll wait (At times)
        Em
And I pray it's not too late (Tears that you cry)
D                   Bm
We came (Sha-la)   so far  (so far)
Em
Just the beat of a lonely heart
F#m    G
And it's mine         (pause)
                       D    G    D
And I don't wanna be alone


[BRIDGE 3]


            Bm                 Em
And all the wonders made for the Earth
            A             Bm
And all the hearts in all creation
         Em               A
Another story there to be told. oow
