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) I’ll wait (I’ll 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) I’ll wait (I’ll 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
