[Intro]

Em G A Am D

[Verse]

Em D Am

Another year has passed me by

Still I look at myself and cry

Em D Am/C

What kind of man have I become?

All of the years I've spent in search of myself

And I'm still in the dark

Em D Am/C

'Cause I can't seem to find the light alone

[Chorus]

Em D Am C

Sometimes I feel like a man in the wilderness

Em D Am/C

I'm a lonely soldier off to war

Sent away to die, never quite knowing why

Sometimes it makes no sense at all...

C D G

Makes no sense at all

[Interlude]

Em G A Am D

[Verse]

Em D Am/C

Ten thousand people look my way

But they can't see the way that I feel

Nobody even cares to try

I spend my life and sell my soul on the road

And I'm still in the dark

Em D Am/C

'Cause I can't seem to find the light alone

[Chorus]

Em D Am C

Sometimes I feel like a man in the wilderness

I'm a lonely sailor lost at sea

Drifting with the tide, never quite knowing why

Sometimes it makes no sense at all
