verse 1  
Dm               F         G 
Lonely, have you ever felt lonely 
            F             G 
Like you're floating on a deep sea 
        F                  Dm  
And the world is somewhere else? 
                C            Dm 
And when you're trying to disguise it 
         F             G 
Well, it only makes it deepen 
    F            G 
And trying to pretend 
     F              Dm  
Will only weigh you down 

 
     Am 
Cold steel 
G    Em 
Cold steel 
     Am 
Cold steel 
G          Em 
Cold, cold steel 


Instrumental: C Dm   F G   F G   F Dm   C Dm   F G   F G   F Dm   C 



verse 2  
Dm                     F           G 
Searching, is this why everybody's searching 
F              G 
Looking to the sky 
   F              Dm  
To try to touch a star 
              C               Dm 
And when they get it in their hand 
           F             G 
Well, they never want to lose it 
           F               G 
They get a monkey on their back  
      F            Dm  
And a pocketful of sand 

 
     Am 
Cold steel 
G    Em 
Cold steel 
     Am 
Cold steel 
G          Em  
Cold, cold steel

verse 3  
Dm            F               G 
Good times, I heard about the good times 
  F            G 
I read it in a book 
   F         Dm  
It sounded alright 
           C               Dm 
And then I thought I saw a stranger 
     F           G 
So I had to give chase 
    F                 G 
She stabbed me in the back  
       F                Dm  
With a smile across her face 

 
     Am 
Cold steel 
G    Em 
Cold steel 
     Am 
Cold steel 
G          Em  
Cold, cold steel 


Instrumental: C Dm   F G   F G   F Dm   C Dm   F G   F G   F Dm   C Dm
