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.
