Intro: 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
Gmaj9
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
Gmaj9
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 G
And all the hearts in all creation
G D
Somehow I always end up alone Always end up alone
D
Always end up alone
CHORUS
D Bm7
So I play Sha' la I'll wait I'll wait

VERSE
D
Well since I got no message on your answer phone
D
Since you're busy every minute I just stay at home
Gmaj9
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
Gmaj9
Am I the subject of the pain Am I the stranger in the rain
D
I am alone

CODA
D 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
