Verse 1
Em G D A
I walk a lonely road, the only one that I have ever known
Em G D A
Don’t know where it goes, but it’s home to me and I walk alone
Chorus
Em G D
I walk alone, I walk alone
A
I walk alone, I walk a…
C G D Em
My shadow’s the only one that walks beside me
C G D Em
My shallow heart’s the only thing that’s beating
C G D Em
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
C G B7
’Til then I walk alone
