C5                                                 F5                     C5
    There is no good reason I should have to be so alone,
             A5                      G5                           F5                              C5
    I'm smothered by this emptiness, Lord, I wish I was made of stone.
                                      E5                           F5                          C5
    Like a fool I lent my soul to love, and it paid me back in change,
       F5     C5               F5        G5                      F5                   C5
    God help me, am I the only one who's ever felt this way.

          C5                                                                     F5                   C5
    A heart that's worn and weathered would know better than to fight,
             A5                       G5                      F5                     C5
    but I wore mine like a weapon, played out love like a crime.
                                             E5                             F5                           C5
 And it wrung me out and strung me out, and it hung years on my face,
      F5     C5                F5        G5                      F5                    C5
    God help me, am I the only  one who's ever felt this way.

  G5                          E5                        F5                       C5
Now my sense of humor needs a break     I see a shadow in the mirror,
                  F5                              C5                         A5                  G5
and she's laughin' through her tears, one more smile's all I can fake.

              C5                                                 F5                     C5
    There is a wound inside me, and it's bleeding like a flood,
               A5                           G5                  F5                  C5
    there's times when I see a light ahead, hope is not enough.
                                      E5                           F5                          C5
    As another night surrounds me, and it pounds me like a wave,
       F5     C5               F5       G5                         F5                   C5
    God help me, am I the only  one, who's ever felt this way.
       F5     C5               F5       G5                        F5                   C5
    God help me, am I the only one, who's ever felt this way.
