Verse:
B
And there's a mist on the mountain
        E                 B
After a deep green summer rain
B
The highway is steaming
                      E            B
And the tires seem to whisper your name
B
As I blow by the crows
                        E    B
Picking through the new mown fields
B

I know I'm not alone
               E      B
But that's the way it feels

Verse:
B
Small town Sunday morning
                     E              B
And the children all dressed up for church
B
The bells are a-ringing
                           E         B
And I'm a-thinking for whatever it's worth
B
That I might find some comfort
                E            B
If I could just learn how to kneel
B
I know I'm not alone
               E      B
But that's the way it feels

Verse:
B
By the ocean in motion
               E    B
I'm hopelessly hypnotized
B
It's just wave upon wave
              E           B
As blue as my true love's eyes
 B
'Til the sun clouds over
                        E         B
And the water turns the colour of steel
B
I know I'm not alone
               E        B
But loneliness feels so real

Verse:
B
Every leaf on the cottonwood trees
   E                B
Is trembling in the wind
B
I'm down by the river
                        E         B
Waiting for the evening rise to begin
B
My sorrow's turning over
                E        B
As slowly as an old mill wheel
B
You let enough time go by
                E         B
And all wounds eventually heal

Verse:
B
In the concrete canyons of the city
       E       B
In the falling dark
B
Neon heart beating
                     E             B
And the streetlights drown out the stars
B
Am I waiting on salvation
                    E       B
Or just singing for my next meal
B
Oh, it's either feast or it's famine
                    E           B
And it's all just a part of the deal

Verse:
B
Every atom in my body is shaking
               E      B
Like I've just seen a ghost
B
I've got big dreams baby
                                  E           B
And I ain't afraid to gamble with what I love most
B
But I'm coming home tomorrow
                  E         B
If I have to beg, borrow or steal
B
I know I'm not alone
           E    B
I know I'm not alone
B
I know I'm not alone
               E      B
But that's the way it feels
