G                        Am       D7 
my friend you are unique but not always 
G                              Am               D7 
some stranger in the well has surely felt your pain 
G                         Am                 D7 
someone you've never met might even own your name 
    C                               Am 
and said all the things you've once said 
              C                       Am  
your thoughts exist in someone else's head 

   G                        Am                D7 
it's true you are one of my favorite books to read 
 G                              Am                D7 
i have to thank you now, you've changed the way i think 
         G                 Am        D7 
and with each page i turn, there you are 
         G                      Am         D7 
and with each word i read rings true in my heart 

C                           Am              D7 
while i was waiting i found something i was missing 
C                                       Am                  D7 
might not have been a man, but where we still could live on wishing 


G                                 Am             D7 
please don't confuse me with your devastating stare-downs 
G                             Am            D7    
i'll hold your mirror all you have to do is turn around 
C                           Am               D7             C 
so you can see the face you make as you are giving out your soul 
                         Am              D7 
are you the only one who doesn't already know 

G                         Am    D7 
i used to think i was the only one 
G                         Am    D7 
i used to think i was the only one 
G                         Am    D7 
i used to think i was the only one 
         C                                Am 
but i've learned quite a few things since then 
C                                               Am 
i've learned that no one ever really is the only one 

G                        Am           D7 
my friend if it's alive, it will do anything 
G                  Am         D7 
and if it's strong believe it will go there 
G                         Am           D7 
and if it's full of love, know it is capable of 
G                      Am           D7 
emptying itself out at any point at all 
G                                     Am                  D7 
just know the height you reach is the distance you could fall 

C                                Am                 D7 
i am aware i'm not the one who's worth most of your time 
C                              Am                    D7 
i am not well and you could be surprised at what you find 
G                          Am      D7 
my friend you are in need, but not always 
G                           Am               D7 
some stranger out there has surely felt your pain 
G                             Am             D7 
Some stranger you don't know, might even own your name 
    C                               Am 
and said all the things you've once said 
              C                       Am  
your thoughts exist in someone else's head 

G                          Am   D7 
i used to think i was the only one 
G                          Am   D7
