When There's No One Around

[G]This is a song that nobody [Em]knows 
I couldn't [C]begin to describe how it [A]goes 
But [G]it makes me cry or laugh right out [Em]loud 
It's [C]a song that I sing when there's no one aroun[G]d 

This is the man that nobody sees 
He wears my old clothes and he looks just like me 
Just one of the boys who gets lost in the crowd 
He's the man that I am when there's no one around 
[C]It's four in the morning 
Im lyin' in [A]bed 
[C]a tape of my failures 
Playin' inside my [A]head 
[C]It's heartaches and hard knocks 
And things I don't [A]know 
[C]I listen and I wonder 
[G]Where will it [D]go 



This is a glimpse of the child that's within 
He's so immature but he's still my best friend 
If he could learn how to fly he'd never touch down 
He's the kid that I am when there's no one around 
This is the dance I do every day 
I let my feet go and get carried away 
I let my soul lead and follow the sound 
It's the dance that I do when there's no one around 



It's four in the morning 
Im lyin' in bed 
A tape of my failures 
Playin' inside my head 
It's heartaches and hard knocks 
And things I don't know 
I listen and I wonder 
Where will it go 



This is a song that nobody knows 
I still can't begin to describe how it goes 
But it makes me cry our laugh right out loud 
It's a song that I sing when there's no one around 
It's a song that I sing when there's no one around
