Em
Dancing alone again
   G
Again, the rain falling
Em                         G
Only the scent of you remains to dance with me
Em                                   G
Nobody showed me how to return the love you give to me
Em
Mom never holds me
Em                   G
Dad loves a stranger more than me

D                 Am
I never wanted to ever bring you down
D                        Am
All that I need are some simple loving words

[Verse 2]

Em
You touched my body once
   G
It burns me still softly
Em                             G
Never forgets never again will be
   G
I cry

D                   Am
Out of my head and I don't know what I found
D              Am
Over and over I feel it break me down

Em  D  Am  C x2

[Chorus]

       Em              D
On the sidewalk of the city
       Am             C
Are my screams just a whisper?
     Em           D
Busy people going nowhere
       Am          B
See me soak in the rain
       Em              D
No compassion, nothing matters
     Am          C
My resistance is waning
       Em            D        Am            B      Em
Like a flower in the basement waiting for a lonely death

[Solo]
Em  G  Am  B x2

[Verse 3]

D                    Am
Out of my head and I don't know what I found
D               Am
Over and over I feel it break me down

Em  D  Am  C x2

[Chorus]

       Em              D
On the sidewalk of the city
       Am             C
Are my screams just a whisper?
     Em           D
Busy people going nowhere
       Am          B
See me soak in the rain
       Em              D
No compassion, nothing matters
     Am          C
My resistance is waning
       Em            D        Am            B      Em
Like a flower in the basement waiting for a lonely death
