Verse:
This is the same as the first verse, but the chords are reversed.
Fmaj7 C
Deaf are the ears of reason
Fmaj7 Am
We're so earthbound On
Fmaj7 C
ev'ry town's high rise ceilings
Fmaj7 Am
The streets we crawl
Fmaj7 C
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
