Intro:  D (xx0232@1)    Gmaj9 (32423x@1)   DD
I was a midnight rider on a cloud of smoke
DI (xx0232@1)could make a woman hang on every single stroke
Gmaj9
I was an iron man, I had a master plan
DBut (xx0232@1)I was alone
DI (xx0232@1)could hear you breathing, With a sigh of the wind
DI (xx0232@1)remember how your body started trembling
Gmaj9
Oh, what a night it's been, And for the state I'm in
DI'm (xx0232@1)still alone

VERSE
DWell, (xx0232@1)since I got no message on your answer phone
DSince (xx0232@1)you're busy every minute. I just stay at home
Gmaj9
I make believe you care, I feel you everywhere
DBut (xx0232@1)I'm still alone
DI'm (xx0232@1)on a wheel of fortune with a twist of fate
D'Cause (xx0232@1)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
DI (xx0232@1)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
