D Bm G A
Looking out of my window, the whole town seems to be sleeping by now
D Bm G A
And I'm so lonely, another night to make it through somehow

My mind is dreary, my life is dull and I've got no goal
D Bm G A
No matter where I'm going, or what I do I do it alone
Pre-Chorus:
F#m G D Bm A
And where am I going when no one is going to share my dreams with me
F#m G
And I have been walking…
Chorus:
D Bm G A D
Alone, so many nights alone, and I don't want it no more
Bm G A D
Always on my own, always so alone
Verse:
D Bm G A
Without a purpose, disillusioned and led astray
D Bm G A
Wishful dreams are the substitute for my disarray
D Bm G A
I wasn't always walking beneath the clouds and rain
D Bm G A
But the years have passed and false hope is all that remains
Pre-Chorus:
F#m G D Bm A
And where am I going when no one is going to share my dreams with me
F#m G
And I have been walking…
