Am                     Dm                   Am   E
Lonely, where should I be if this is not my land
Am              Dm                              Am   E
Slowly, life is running through my fingers like sand
Am                Dm              Am   E
Call me, and I'll be wherever you are
Am              Dm                  Am   E
Lonely, and the day hides a falling star

[Chorus]
      Dm                   Am
And I tried so hard, yes I tried to get out
        G                          Dm
But the fear kept on strangling my will
      Dm                   Am
And I tried so hard, yes I tried to get out
        G                            E
But the chains they were harder than steel

[Post-Chorus]
Am               Dm                      Am   E
Lonely, when the bird calls the break of dawn
Am           Dm              Am     E  Am
Lonely, when nightfall takes lovers in it's arms

[Verse 2]
Am      Dm                        Am   E
Lonely, when meadows outside grow green
Am               Dm                   Am   E
Falling, and the waters take what has been
Am                 Dm                      Am    E
Flowing, show me a place where I can fall asleep
Am              Dm                  Am   E
Lonely, and the oceans are vast and deep

[Chorus]
      Dm                   Am
And I tried so hard, yes I tried to get out
        G                          Dm
But the fear kept on strangling my will
      Dm                   Am
And I tried so hard, yes I tried to get out
        G                            E
But the chains they were harder than steel

[Post-Chorus]
Am               Dm                      Am   E
Lonely, when the bird calls the break of dawn
Am           Dm              Am     E  Am
Lonely, when nightfall takes lovers in it's arms
