C
I sit alone
G Am
Dark theater watchin' the people go by
hand in hand,
F
everybody but me
C G
I stay behind, watchin' the credits roll by
Am F
roll, roll, roll, right right by me.
Chorus:
G F
But I know, I won't cry,
C
'cause there is somebody, somebody, somebody,
G
waiting for me
Am
Out in the rain.
F G
Won't cry, not tonight 'cause there is
C
somebody waiting for me
C
I take a walk,
G
the streets are busy tonight,
Am
and I am searching for you,
F
waiting to brush your shoulder
C
But I'm alone
G
I watch the faces roll by
Am F
Roll, roll, roll, right by me.
Chorus
Am G
How many words will go unspoken
Em F
'Til I hear knockin' upon my door.
Am
Losing track of the nighs I spend
G F
heartbroken but tonight I know,
G
I won't cry no more.
C
I lie awake
G
I left the porch light on
Am F
I hope it helps you find your way
C G
Outside, I hear the thunder roll by
Am F
Roll, roll, roll right by me
Chorus.
C G
I stay behind, watching the credits roll by,
Am F
roll, roll, roll right by me.
