G        C            G                  D
I walk a lonely path, one that must look down and laugh
G                   C
And if this is your epitaph, 
D           G
You're not alone

G        C            G               D
I walk a lonely road, ruled by some unwritten code
    G               C
And no one here can ease the load 
D              G
You're on your own

C        Am
I walk a lonely beat, 
C          Am    G
Tears like rain upon the street
C                   Am           D  (mute strings)
Why can't they wash away my destiny?

I'm all alone

C        Am
I walk a lonely lane, 
C                  Am        G
Where no one knows pride nor shame
C             Am                D    (mute strings)
No one here remembers their own name

They're all alone

G        C
I walk a lonely street,  
G                  D
And in the shadows you can see
  G               C
A thousand faces, just like me
D
We're not alone

C        D      G
I walk a lonely street, 
C        D      G
I walk a lonely street
C D     G
I walk alone

C        D      G
I walk a lonely street, 
C        D      G
I walk a lonely street
C    D        G
I... walk... alone
