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

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

  G                          E                        F                       C
Now my sense of humor needs a break     I see a shadow in the mirror,
                  F                              C                         Am                  G
and she's laughin' through her tears, one more smile's all I can fake.

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