Roy Orbison - Only The Lonely

Heard this one on American Horror Story S04E01.  Couldn't get it out of my head.  Stayed in tonight so, thought I'd give it a try.  I didn't know the song too well and was getting too incapable of playing to figure out the end.  I just kinda winged it.  More and more I consider Bowie one of the absolute best vocalists of his genres.

LYRICS:
[Verse]
I see faces on the corner
They don’t look back
They move like tides
Like a fading track
Caught in the hum of the city’s spin
Lost on the outside
Can’t get in

[Prechorus]
They build walls so high
But who’s inside
Who’s outside

[Chorus]
I’m searching for a place to belong
A quiet note in the noise so strong
The world’s too loud
But I’m still here
A stranger’s smile
The only mirror

[Verse 2]
Eyes like windows
Closed in the rain
Words like static
Breaking the chain
I walk these streets
A ghost in stride
A silent scream where the echoes hide

[Prechorus]
The crowd’s a wave
It pulls me in
But I’m afloat
I’ll never swim

[Chorus]
I’m searching for a place to belong
A quiet note in the noise so strong
The world’s too loud
But I’m still here
A stranger’s smile
The only mirror
