capo on 2nd
Intro: G-C-G-D  
       C-D-G  
He’s a Glonely man who’s Clost his onlGy love;
It’s hiding in his sysCtem like a dGrug.
It’s jusGt around the corCner there,
It’s hidGing from him everDywhere;
He’s a loCnely man who’s Dlost his Glove.
He’s a lonely man who finds no one to blame.
He knows that love’s no war and life’s no game.
He has an anger in his soul,
That holds to love and won’t let go.
He’s a lonely man who finds no blame.
