  			G             D            C           Am 
 
Some walk out winners  of those who've lost 
G         D           C                 
Can it be said at any price this is the cost 
G       D           C         Am    
Hard is perception easier is blame 
G                 D        C     D             G    
Is this the only life  for everyone  is it the same  
G        D     C       Am 
 
Children laugh and run away 
G            D              C 
 
While others look into the darkness of the day 
G                 D    C             Am 
 
Some streets are easy while some are cruel 
G              D           C      D               G 
 
Could these be reasons why man is life's greatest fool 
D                    A 
 
Do you believe when you're all alone 
C                        G 
 
You held the key to your destiny gone 
D              A                                                      
Do you believe deep in your soul  
C                       G              A     D 
 
That too much lonliness makes you grow old  
 
SOLO 
 
G            D      C                 Am 
 
Words can be empty though filled with sound  
G               D        C                  
Stoned numb and drifting hard to be profound  
G              D         C         Am 
 
Formed out of pleasure chiselled by pain  
G         D           C       D            G 
Never the highest and not the last ones to gain   
D                    A 
 
Do you believe when you're all alone 
C                        G 
 
You held the key to your destiny gone 
D              A                                                      
Do you believe deep in your soul  
C                       G              A     D 
 
That too much lonliness makes you grow old
