[E]
[A] The man finds himself alone [F#m] for the first time [E] in his life.
[A]
[C#m] He knows he's got a problem.
[F#m] He's gotta work it out, [E] wrong or [A] right.
He's gotta [C#m] work it out.
[F#m] He's so lonely [E] in the night.
[A]
He's [C#m] gotta work it out [F#m] all alone.
[E] [C#m] Now who in the world would believe
[F#] he's got another trick up his sleeve?
[C#m] And who in the world wants to know
[F#m]
which way he should go?
[Bm]
Which way should he turn?
[D]
Which way should he learn?
Which day should he stop?
Which way to the top?
[A] I remember him [F#m] when he was blessed.
[E] When we were young, we met them.
[A] I still can [F#m] recall when we would [E] smile.
How we tried his best to warn us all.
[A] This livin' on his own has turned his [F#m] heart to stone.
And it's [E] all fake.
[A] He sits out on his [C#m] own and eats his heart [F#m] out alone.
In the pouring [E] rain.
[C#m] Now who in the world would have known
[F#] that just a few years ago
[C#m] his love could have grown and grown
[F#m] through the rain, the sleet, and the snow.
[B] But the rain, [Bm] the sleet, and snow
[D] chills the heart and kills the soul.
So let the cold winds blow.
What he doesn't see, he doesn't [A] know.
I remember him [F#m] when we were friends.
[E] When we were young, we met them.
[A] I recall it all [F#m] when we were small.
[E] How we tried his best to warn us all.
[A] I remember it [F#m] still.
I always [E] will.
When we were friends, way back [A] then.
I recall [F#m] it all when we were [E] small.
How we tried his best to warn us [A] all of the [E] danger.
[F#m] He said, watch [A] out for the [E] danger.
[F#m]
He said, [E] watch out.
[A] The man doesn't win a fight.
[F#m] For the first [E] time in his life.
[A]
He looks [C#m] a little thinner.
[F#m] But he says, hey, that [E] doesn't matter.
[A] But if you [C#m] look closely,
[F#m] you will see a cold, [E] small, [A] self -satisfactory [C#m] smile
[F#m] behind his [E] evil eyes.
[C#m] And now that he has won,
[F#m] it doesn't matter how or which way it was done.
[C#m] Now that he's in control,
[F#m] revenge is in his heart and soul.
[Bm] The power is at his fingertips.
[D]
Vengeance is on his lips.
But the power he fought to control,
now has got him in his grips.
[A] I remember him [F#m] when we were friends.
[E] When we were young, way back then.
[A] I recall it [F#m] all when we were small.
[E] How we tried his best to warn us all.
[A] I remember [F#m] it still.
I [E] always will.
When we were friends, way back [A] then.
I recall it [F#m] all when we were [E] small.
How we tried his best to warn us all [A] of the [E] danger.
[F#m] I
[A] remember him [F#m] when we were friends.
[E] When we were young, way back then.
[A] But [E] now we're all [F#m] grown up and we're strangers.
[A] We're deep in, diving, [F#m]
heart by [E] heart.
We slip and slip till we're grown up [A] high.
[E] [F#m]
Now we're strangers.
[A] I remember him when [F#m] we were friends.
[E] When we were young, it was [A] way back [E] [F#m] then.
I [A] still recall it [F#m] all when we were small.
[E] How we tried his best.
He said, watch [A] out for the [E] danger.
