[E]
[A]
The man finds himself alone [F#m] for the first time [E] in his life.
[A]
He [C#m] knows he's got a problem,
[F#m] he's gotta work it [E] out.
Wrong or [A] right, he's [C#m] gotta work it out.
[F#m] He's so lonely [E] in the night, [A]
[C#m] he's 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 when [F#m] he was when [E]
we were young, way back then
[A] I still can [F#m] recall when we was small, [E]
how he 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 out [F#m] alone in the pouring [E] rain
[C#m] Now who in the world would've known [F#] that just a few years ago
[C#m] His love could've grown and grown [F#m] through the rain, the sleet, and snow
[Bm] But the rain, 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 when [F#m] we were friends, [E] when we were young, way back then
[A] I recall it [F#m] all when we were small, [E]
how he 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 he tried his best to warn us [A] all
On [E] the danger, [F#m] he said, [A] watch out for the [E] danger, [F#m] he said, watch [E] out
A
[A] man is a winner, [F#m] for the first [E] time in his life
[A] He [C#m] looks 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]
smug, self [A] -satisfactory [C#m] smile
[F#m] Behind his evil [E]
eyes
[C#m] And now that he has won, [F#] 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 [A] grips
I remember him [F#m] when we were friends, [E] when we were young, way back then
[A] I recall it all [F#m]
when we were small, [E] how he 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 [F#m] it all when we were [E] small, how he tried his best to warn us all
[A] On the [E] danger
[F#m] I [A]
remember him [F#m] when we were friends, [E] when we were young, way back [A] then
But [E] now we're [F#m] all grown up and we're strangers
You [A] see, bit by [F#m] bit, part by [E] part, we slip and slip, till we've grown apart
[F#m]
Now we're strangers
[A] I remember him [F#m] when we were friends, [E]
when we were young, it was [A]
way [E] back then
[F#m]
I [A] still recall it all [F#m]
when we were small, [E] how he tried his best
He said, watch [A] out for the [E] danger
[F#m] [A]
[F#m] [E]
