Verse:
This is the same as the first verse, but the chords are reversed.
Deaf are the ears of reason
We're so earthbound On
ev'ry town's high rise ceilings
The streets we crawl
Youth at the summit freewheeling
Chorus:
This is the same as the first chorus, but you repeat everything twice, except for
the first two bars.
I hear you say
Am I the only one
Am I the only one
Am I the only one
Am I the only one
We're not the chosen ones
We're not the chosen ones
I'm not the only one
I'm not the only one
