Gb    Ab
Only music makes me cry
                   Gb     Ab
Only music makes me feel alive
                    Gb
Only music makes me cry
Ab
Only music

[Verse]

Db                 Ab
When night is all around me
    B
And what if these stars
       Gb               Db
Stare dumb-eyed for the sun

                     Ab
I'm lonely like the winter
              B
I'm lonely as sin
    Gb
And empty as a drum

[Bridge]

Gb               Ab
Beating out of time
                 Gb
Counting down to darkness
         Ab          Ab7
'Til we think we're fine

[Chorus]

        Ebm
I don't know what I am
         Gb
I don't know what I feel
          Db
I've been walking in the shadows
   Ab
So long I think they're real
        Ebm
I don't know what I am
         Gb
I don't know how to try
          Db
I've been walking in the shadows
   Ab
So long
                    Gb    Ab
Only music makes me cry
                   Gb     Ab
Only music makes me feel alive
                    Gb
Only music makes me cry
Ab
Only music

[Verse]

Db                       Ab
When a good love came to find me
    B
I broke my own heart
       Gb               Db
And fixed it with more bones

                           Ab
Now I've just got words for company
   B
A flavoury of fools
     Ebm7          Gb
And someone else's songs

[Bridge]

              Ab
Banging in my brain, banging out
     Ebm                Ab
And back and forth and back again

[Chorus]

        Ebm
I don't know what I am
         Gb
I don't know what I feel
          Db
I've been walking in the shadows
   Ab
So long I think they're real
        Ebm
I don't know what I am
         Gb
I don't know how to try
          Db
I've been walking in the shadows
   Ab
So long
                    Gb    Ab
Only music makes me cry
                   Gb     Ab
Only music makes me feel alive
                    Gb   Ab
Only music makes me cry
                   Gb     Ab
Only music makes me feel alive

[Middle 8]

       Gb
Only music makes me laugh
      Ab
Only music makes me smile
      Gb
Only music makes me want to be
   Ab
Myself for a while
       Gb
Only music makes me laugh
      Ab
Only music makes me hurt
      Gb
Makes me feel something, feel something
  Ab                 Ebm
Feel something, oooooooooh
  Gb     Db Ab
Ooooooh

[Chorus]

        Ebm
I don't know what I am
         Gb
I don't know what I feel
          Db
I've been walking in the shadows
   Ab
So long I think they're real
        Ebm
I don't know what I am
         Gb
I don't know how to try
          Db
I've been walking in the shadows
   Ab
So long
                    Gb    Ab
Only music makes me cry
                   Gb     Ab
Only music makes me feel alive
                    Gb
Only music makes me cry
Ab
Only music
