Bm Em7 B7 Lonely, my life used to be lonely, lonely like the lonely single number one G Bm Em7 F#m7 Lonely like the lone-ly sun, Without a single Iota to shine upon........ Crying, deep inside I was crying, like the muddy Mississippi, my tears flowed Carrying with it my lonely soul, leaving no clue of who where of what I would become...Money, oh how did I have money, Enough to last me from start til the end of time With some more to leave behind, and yet I was a cent-less pauper in distress I can, feel the very presence of your love here, though I've never seen the pleasure of your smile No, I've never touched your hand And yet you've given me eternal happiness Chorus and fadeG A7 D G Bm Oh, how I longed to be possessed by one somebody G G G A7 D To hold me, control me, show me what I should do with my broken life G A7 D G Bm But oh, was I lifted when I let your light shine in my body G G G A A Em Then I shed my sorrows for joy, love, and you in my, my, my life Em F#m Em D Bm D Em I'm dancing to the rhythm of your love Em F#m Em D Bm D Em Singing sweet melodies of your sweet, sweet love Em F#m Em D Bm G F#m Em Bm G F#m Em Forever grateful for your love
