1. All alone I must stand, even when I'm running,

               Am               G                        F                

    and it feels like a dream I need to awaken from.

           C                  Em                    F

    I believe when it hurts we must keep on trying,

             Am               G              F

    but I want, and I need, like a river needs the rain.

 

                     Am                      F                   C

                           G

    I just wanna breathe again,

             Am                        F                      G

    like a summer's day I need to feel the heat again.

 

                       C            Em            F

I only wanna keep the stone from rolling,

                      Am         G         F

I only wanna learn to feel the rain.

                                   C         Em               F

Then maybe I could stop the leaves from falling,

                      Am          G             F

I only wanna learn to freeze the flame,

2. Here's the night, where's the stars, 'coz I need some guiding ?

               Am               G           F                

    And it cuts, like a knife as I watch you walk away.

 

                     Am                      F                   C           

    There's a bridge I need to burn before I leave,

                         G

    I just wanna live again,

                  Am                 F                    G

    like the stormy rain I need to hear it beat again.

 

                       C            Em            F

I only wanna keep the stone from rolling,

                      Am         G         F

I only wanna learn to feel the rain.

                                   C         Em               F

Then maybe I could stop the leaves from falling,

                      Am          G             F

I only wanna learn to freeze the flame,

                  F

    that I've failed the test ?

                      Am                                     G

    'Coz when love ain't blessed, and it's laid to rest,

               F

    it can leave a mess.

I only wanna keep the stone from rolling,

                      Am         G         F

I only wanna learn to feel the rain.
