    D     Csus2    G(no bass)   Gm6 E---2-------3---------3----------0------|B---3-------3---------3----------3------|G---2-------0---------0----------0------|D---0------(0)--------0----------0------|A---0-------3---------2----------1------|E---x-------x---------x----------x------|


There 've been moments of despair
There 've been times I could'nt care
I was the lonely one
Then you showed myself to me
And I found I need'nt be
Another lonely one


Refrain:
F#m               GRunning in the wilderness
       D	     BmAnd dreaming in the sun
F#m            GCrying to the sky at night
     D            BmFor Gods eternal Son




Through the truth and through the lies
There is really no disguise
To hide the lonely one
You can find them on card
being matched with other hearts
The really loneley ones



Middle:
G             A       DInside your rooms, behind you walls
I see your face, you know I hear your call
Is this a madness that's been left unchecked
Or will there always be just promises?






There are men who hold the key
To set everybody free
But they are lonely ones
And if the day should come
When they all can work as one
There 'll be a destiny
