CAPO: 3rd Fret
INTRO:    C     F     C     G   C   G  C  
N.C.             F  
I will always be lonely
Nothing's ever gonna Cchange that 
It's the way that I'm Gwired
It's the way that I'm Cset back 
From the man in the Fmainstream
From the crown in the Chighway 
I will always be Glonely
It's the way that I Cam 
I was born in a Fcity
I grew up in this Ccountry 
Used to work in a Gfactory
Didn't like it exCactly 
When the road gets Fbumpy
Try not to get too Cjumpy 
Or your head'll get Glumpy
You'll start looking like Cme 
I will always be Flonely
A blue crack in a Cspare part 
A red line through a Ghead start
A round world with a Csquare heart 
I will always be Flonely
It's so low Cpowered 
No cables, no Gtowers
No kilowatt Chours 
I will always be Flonely
It's what I'm going Con about 
Love is hope Gwithout doubt
Hate is Cfear turned out 
I will always be Flonely
It's a chronic Cfever 
That burns the aGchiever
Bring on the reCliever 
I will always be Flonely
Nothing's ever gonna Cchange that 
It's the way that I'm Gwired
It's the way that I'm Cset back 
From the man in the Fmainstream
From the crown in the Chighway 
I will always be Glonely
It's the way that I Cam 
INTERLUDE:
HmFmmm, hmCmmm, hmGmmm, hmCmmm
HmFmmm, hmCmmm, hmGmmm, hmCmmm
You know the ones that I'm Fproud of
Are the ones who alClowed love 
Many lost in the Gcrowd of
People gone Cby 
I will always be Flonely
A blue crack in a Cspare part 
A red line through a Ghead start
A round world with a Csquare heart 
I will always be Flonely
Nothing's ever gonna Cchange that 
It's the way that I'm Gwired
It's the way that I'm Cset back 
From the man in the Fmainstream
From the crown in the Chighway 
I will always be Glonely
It's the way that I Cam  
I will always be FlonelyG

John Gorka - Always

CAPO: 3rd Fret

C F C G C G C

INTRO:

N.C.

I will always be lonely

Nothing's ever gonna change that

It's the way that I'm wired

It's the way that I'm set back

From the man in the mainstream

From the crown in the highway

I will always be lonely

It's the way that I am

I was born in a city

I grew up in this country

Used to work in a factory

Didn't like it exactly

When the road gets bumpy

Try not to get too jumpy

Or your head'll get lumpy

You'll start looking like me

I will always be lonely

A blue crack in a spare part

A red line through a head start

A round world with a square heart

I will always be lonely

It's so low powered

No cables, no towers

No kilowatt hours

I will always be lonely

It's what I'm going on about

Love is hope without doubt

Hate is fear turned out

I will always be lonely

It's a chronic fever

That burns the achiever

Bring on the reliever

I will always be lonely

Nothing's ever gonna change that

It's the way that I'm wired

It's the way that I'm set back

From the man in the mainstream

From the crown in the highway

I will always be lonely

It's the way that I am

INTERLUDE:

F C G C

Hmmmm, hmmmm, hmmmm, hmmmm

F C G C

Hmmmm, hmmmm, hmmmm, hmmmm

You know the ones that I'm proud of

Are the ones who allowed love

Many lost in the crowd of

People gone by

I will always be lonely

A blue crack in a spare part

A red line through a head start

A round world with a square heart

I will always be lonely

Nothing's ever gonna change that

It's the way that I'm wired

It's the way that I'm set back

From the man in the mainstream

From the crown in the highway

I will always be lonely

It's the way that I am

F G

I will always be lonely

C F C

It's the way that I am
