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.
