I was a midnight rider on a cloud of smoke,

I could make a woman hang on every single stroke,
   G                                        D
I was an iron man, I had a master plan, but I was alone.

         D
I could hear you breathing with a sigh of the wind,
I remember how your body started tremblin',
     G
oh what a night it's been! And for the state I'm in,
 D
I'm still alone.
            Hmi                   Emi
And all the wonders made for the Earth ,
             A               Hmi
And all the hearts in all creation,
           D
somehow I always end up alone, always end up alone.
       D         Hmi              Emi                G
So I play, I'll wait 'cause you know that love takes time.
    D        Hmi             Emi               G
We came so close, just the beat of a lonely heart.
          F#mi G  ~                      D
And it's mine,  and I don't wanna be alone.

              D
Well since I got no message on your answer phone,

since you're busy every minute, I just stay at home,
   G
I make believe you care, I feel you everywhere,
     D
but I'm still alone.

           D
I'm on a wheel of fortune with a twist of fate.

'cause I know it isn't heaven, is it love or hate?
          G
am I the subject of the pain? Am I the stranger in the rain?
am I  the  subject  of  the  pain?
Ami
I  the  stranger  in  the  rain?
D
I am alone.
               Hmi             Emi               A       Hmi
And is there glory there to behold? Maybe it's my imagination,
                Emi         A
another story there to be told.
       D         Hmi         Emi               G
So I play, I'll wait and I pray it's not too late.
     D      Hmi            Emi                G
We came so far, just the beat of a lonely heart,
           F#mi G                         D
and it's mine -  and I don't wanna be alone.
             Hmi                   Emi
And all the wonders made for the Earth,
              A              Hmi              Emi               A
and all the hearts in all creation, another story there to be told.
       D         Hmi          Emi               G
So I play, I'll wait and I pray it's not too late.
    D       Hmi            Emi               G
We came so far, just the beat of a lonely heart,
          F#mi  G                         D
and it's mine -  and I don't wanna be alone.

Gone but not out of sight, I'm caught in the rain and there's no one home,
face the heat of the night, the one that you love's got a heart that's made of stone.
Shine and search for the light and sooner or later you'll be cruising on your ocean.
And clean out of sight, I'm caught in the rain and there's no one home ... ...
