G                        Am       D7
my friend you are unique but not always
G                              Am               D7
some stranger you don't know has surely felt your pain
G                         Am                 D7
some stranger out there might even own your name
    C                               Am
and said all the things you've once said
              C                       Am 
your thoughts existing in someone else's head

   G                        Am                D7
it's true you are one of my favorite books to read
 G                              Am                D7
i have to thank you now, you've changed the way i think
         G                 Am        D7
and with each page i turn, there you are
         G                      Am         D7
and with each word i read rings true in my heart

C                           Am              D7
while i was waiting i found something i was missing
C                                       Am                  D7
might not have been a man, but why waste good-willed love on wishing


G                                 Am             D7
please don't confuse me with your devastating stare-downs
G                             Am            D7   
i'll hold your mirror all you have to do is turn around
C                           Am               D7             C
so you can see the face you make as you are giving out your soul
                         Am              D7
are you the only one who doesn't already know

G                         Am    D7
i used to think i was the only one
G                         Am    D7
i used to think i was the only one
G                         Am    D7
i used to think i was the only one
         C                                Am
but i've learned quite a few things since then
C                                               Am
i've learned that no one ever really is the only one

G                        Am           D7
my friend if it's alive, it will do anything
G                           Am         D7
and if it's strong as well, believe it will go there
G                         Am           D7
and if it's full of love, know it is capable of
G                      Am           D7
emptying itself out at any point at all
G                                     Am                  D7
just know the height you reach is the distance you could fall

C                                            Am                 D7
know your own heart well it's the one that's worth most of your time
C                                     Am                    D7
know your own heart well you could be surprised at what you find
G                         Am      D7
my friend you are unique, but not always
G                           Am               D7
