Verse:

This is the same as the first verse, but the chords are reversed.

   Fmaj7                C
   Deaf are the ears of reason 

   Fmaj7         Am
   We're so earthbound      On

   Fmaj7                  C
   ev'ry town's high rise ceilings 

   Fmaj7          Am
   The streets we crawl 

   Fmaj7                   C
   Youth at the summit freewheeling 


Chorus:

This is the same as the first chorus, but you repeat everything twice, except for 
the first two bars.

   I hear you say 

   Am I the only one
   Am I the only one
   Am I the only one
   Am I the only one
   We're not the chosen ones
   We're not the chosen ones
   I'm not the only one
   I'm not the only one
