[Verse]
G C D G
He’s got a family, kids and a wife
G C D G
Oh he’s got a good job he’s living the life
G C D Em
But he’s got a secret and he’s got a plan
G C D G
Nobody knows yet but he’s the lonely man
G C D G
When he was young, hard as a rock
G C D G
He was all action, no time for talk
G C D Em
He worked hard, he played hard, hell he had to win
G C D G
And he was told to be tough, again and again
[Chorus]
C D G
Now the lonely man doesn’t tell you how he’s feeling
C D G
The lonely man he just hides his pain
C D G D C
The lonely man, inside he’s reeling
Am C D
He pretends there's sunshine in the rain
[Verse 2]
G C D G
These days when he’s at home, he’s always mad
G C D G
And even when he is there, hid kids miss dad
G C D Em
Cause he needs to talk now, but who would he talk to
G C D G
He loves her so much, but that’s something he can’t do
G C D G
He spends his nights, alone in a bar
G C D G
Or spinning old tunes, sitting in his car
G C D Em
Sometimes when he’s in bed, he starts to yawn
G C D G
She’s laying next to him wondering where’s he really gone
[Chorus]
C D G
Now the lonely man doesn’t tell you how he’s feeling
C D G
The lonely man he just hides his pain
C D G D C
The lonely man, inside he’s reeling
Am C D
He pretends there's sunshine in the rain
[Verse 3]
G C D G
He’s gotten older, but he’s not the same
G C D G
He’s the latest player in this tired game
G C D Em
He once was a warrior but he’s feeling done
G C D G
Inside his mind, his world ways a ton
G C D G
And he’s full of guilt now, he’s full of shame
G C D G
And he hears the silence when no one calls his name
G C D Em
He feels real numb but his heart is sore
G C D G
Pretty soon that lonely man won’t be lonely anymore
because
[Chorus]
C D G
Now the lonely man doesn’t tell you how he’s feeling
C D G
The lonely man he just hides his pain
C D G D C
The lonely man, inside he’s reeling
Am C D
He just found some sunshine in his rain
Am C D
Oh, he just found some sunshine in his rain
