_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ Above the pounding [F] _
[Eb] of the rain, _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ Beyond the rolling of [Bb] the _ sea, _ _ _
_ _ A thousand [Ab] people know [Eb] _ my _ name, [Gm] _ _
_ [F] _ _ And one or two may yet [Bb] know me.
_ _ There _
[Eb] _ _ in the middle _ of the [Cm] _ _ night, _ _ I'll find _ [G] _ a friendly [Dm] _ face, _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ And I'll be taken [Dm] back again, _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ To [F] some [Eb] new [Bb]
loving _ _ _ place. _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ No, _ _ _
[Cm] _ _ not be left _ _
[Dm] _ [F] alone, _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Cm] Although _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ solitude's [Bb] my _ home. _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [F] _ _
[Bb] _ _ Faces there are I [Cm] haven't seen, _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
[F] _ _ Faces there are I'll [Bb] never see,
_ [C] _ [Bb] _ [C] But _
[Bb] _ _ what a [Ab] _ waste [Eb] it would have been, _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ Had I been any one but [Bb] me. _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ Still if I seem a little _
_ [Cm] _ proud, _ _ _ [F]
[Cm] My _ _ _ [Db] head will [Dm] often bend, _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ On seeing someone in [Dm] a crowd, _ _ _ [F] _ _
[Cm] _ [F] I'll never hope to _
[Bb] comprehend. _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] Oh no, _ _ _ _ _ _
[Cm] _ _ _ I'm _ not [Dm] _ alone, _ _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Cm] Although _ _ _ [Eb] _ solitude [F] _ _ _ _ _ is [Bb] my home. _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ I try to beg the _ [Cm] hand of hell, _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ Sometimes when silence [Bb] gets too rough, _ _ _ _ _
_ _ All I can offer [Cm] is myself, _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
[F] _ That never _ seems [Bb] to be enough. _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ And yet there are some men [Cm] who kill, _ _ _ _ For _ less [Eb] _ in [Db]
[Dm] someone's _ _ hand, _ _ _
[Eb] _ At some things I can _ [Cm] only guess, _ [F] _ _ _ _
[Ebm] _ [F] And never hope to _
[Bb] _ understand. _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ [B] _
I turn my face toward [E] the wind, _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gb]
And shuffle down the [B] darkened street,
_ _ With _ _ _ winter coming on [E] again, _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _
There's no telling _ [B] who I'll meet.
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
Perhaps an arm will open _ _ _ _ up, To _ hold _ _ me [Ebm] for a while,
_ _ Who _ [E] _ _
knows what waits within [Ebm] the _ night, _ _ _ [Abm] _ _ _ [Gb] Beneath the surface [B] of a _ _ smile.
_ [E] Oh no, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] I'm _ not [Ebm] _ alone, _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
