Verse

Fm        G#

I walk a lonely road

    D#            A#          Fm

The only one that I have ever known

G#

Don't know where it goes

D#               A#             Fm

But it's home to me and I walk alone

Fm            G#

  I walk this empty street

D#          A#             Fm

On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams

G#

Where the city sleeps

    D#           A#              Fm

and I'm the only one and I walk alone

G# D#              A#           Fm

        I walk alone, I walk alone

        I walk alone, I walk a..

Chorus

C#   G#           D#            Fm

  My shadow's the only one that walks beside me

C#   G#      D#               Fm

  My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating

C#    G#      D#               Fm

  Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me

C#     G#       C7

  'Til then I walk alone

Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-

Verse 2

Fm            G#

  I'm walking down the line

D#              A#              Fm

That divides me somewhere in my mind

G#

On the border line

D#              A#            Fm

Of the edge and where I walk alone

G D A (Play this before entering next verse)

Fm       G#

  Read between the lines

D#                   A#           Fm

What's fucked up and everything's alright

G#

Check my vital signs

   D#             A#                Fm

To know I'm still alive and I walk alone

        I walk alone, I walk a..
