[F] And [G] the loneliness [C] won't leave me alone, [F]
[G] [C] beyond the walls.

[G] I'm praying [C] for time.
There have been times [Em] [F]
sitting [E] in limbo [F]
[G] for [C] a lifetime.
Many have looked, [Em] [C] [F]
but I [E] just [Em] can't [F] seem to find [G] my [C] way.
Well, I'm nothing, [Em] [F]
[Em] all [F] alone,
[Em] like a [C] cliff's door.
I'm too late, [Em]
alone.
