The Lonely Life

Capo 3 Em7 What if I did not love you? C/E Where will that be to me Em7 But I wander through the avenues C/E Under a pall of misery (Verse) Would I be face down in a gutter With cheap whiskey on my breath The lonely life of a writer Whose words could not pay his debts [Refrão] Em C/E G D/F# Saying please don't, please don't pass me by Em C/E I am alive, oh can't you see? G D/F# That I've been blinded completely Em C/E G D/F# Please don't, please don't pass me by Em C/E I am alive, oh can't you see? G D/F# That I am pleading for your mercy (Verse) What if we became strangers? Would you notice my face in a crowd? And you could you hear the sorrow in my voice? Helplessly crying your name out loud (Verse) Would I be searching for a savior? Burned and burning with regret The lonely life of a writer With one last desperate request (Chorus) Saying please don't, please don't pass me by I am alive, oh can't you see? That I've been blinded completely Please don't, please don't pass me by I am alive, oh can't you see? That I am pleading for your mercy (Bridge) I've been on the lamb Being hunted, something fierce They say time and tide don't wait for no man But I was just hoping These storm filled skies will clear (Chorus) Please don't, please don't pass me by Please don't, please don't pass me by Please don't, please don't pass me by I am alive, oh can't you see? That I am pleading for your mercy
