[Verse 1] 
Dm               F         G
Lonely, have you ever felt lonely
            F             G
Like you're floating on a deep sea
        F                  Dm 
And the world is somewhere else?
                C            Dm
And when you're trying to disguise it
         F             G
Well, it only makes it deepen
    F            G
And trying to pretend
     F              Dm 
Will only weigh you down


[Chorus]
     Am
Cold steel
G    Em
Cold steel
     Am
Cold steel
G          Em
Cold, cold steel

[Verse 2] 
Dm                     F           G
Searching, is this why everybody's searching
F              G
Looking to the sky
   F              Dm 
To try to touch a star
              C               Dm
And when they get it in their hand
           F             G
Well, they never want to lose it
           F               G
They get a monkey on their back 
      F            Dm 
And a pocketful of sand


[Chorus]
     Am
Cold steel
G    Em
Cold steel
     Am
Cold steel
G          Em 
Cold, cold steel

[Verse 3] 
Dm            F               G
Good times, I heard about the good times
  F            G
I read it in a book
   F         Dm 
It sounded alright
           C               Dm
And then I thought I saw a stranger
     F           G
So I had to give chase
    F                 G
She stabbed me in the back 
       F                Dm 
With a smile across her face


[Chorus]
     Am
Cold steel
G    Em
Cold steel
     Am
Cold steel
G          Em 
Cold, cold steel
